HOw long do have to wait until it is ready? Like the colors in the wood contrasting with the zinc straps.

Good things come to those who wait, no? Like the perspective and composition for the most part. Possibly could have been a bit brighter (on my screen). Neat pic!

Wow, what a great shot. I wish more barrells were in focus. Not all, but just a few more. Light levels and perspective are fantastic. Good eye!

Greetings Gordon.

There are two main thoughts that lead me to your photograph, the first is the blue Arches and the second is the moving figure at the end of the
photograph.
Your DOF from front to rear is excellent and in focus. You've even got the hole in the 9th square in focus as is the bright object between the 2nd and 3rd Arch. The lighting coming through the Arches is just enough to create shadows which add something mystical to your photograph.
Now, the girl in the background. Was she put there on purpose, or did she just happen to walk by at the wrong moment? Doesn't matter, for me she neither adds or takes away from the photo. I would prefer not to have her there, but would prefer to have the darkness at the "end of the tunnel".

You have excellent composition, colour is great and clarity is also there. The angle that you've taken the shot from is an excellent choice. The eyes do not wander around, but are led directly from the front arch all the way to the back (except for that little white spot)to the female figure.

Good job, Gordon!
