This is a good idea. The composition is not real stimulating. Seeking a perspective or angle that is dramatic or exciting, something that the normal viewer would not see can greatly strengthen a presentation of a good subject. This has the appearance of the view one would have just standing there and looking down at it. Also the background is very bright and blown out. This can be quite a distraction. You could try underexposing in very bright situations, or just pay attention to the lighting and shoot at a more favorable time of day.
Nice shot, I think it would be a bit stronger if you took the photo from a lower angle, shift to B&W & crop it a little tighter or take it at a different time of day when the background would not be so bright.
