Not a bad image. Great colour and contrast.

In my limited opinion, the shadows are a bit distracting. If it were me, I might crop it to remove the shadows on the left, and removed the shadowed chairs in the back row on the right. I think I'd do it somewhere between the front of the left most back row chair to the back edge of the right most back chair. That would leave you with all of the interesting bits and remove most of the distraction. It would be a square image though.

As I said though. That's only my opinion.

Nice image either way though!

I like the picture a lot, exposure looks good, nice and sharp, I would suggest, however, that you keep dividing lines in the picture off center (normally) and make sure it's level. Creatively I would have tried a wider angle, closer and and more to the left, assuming it's possible, of course, to accentuate the angle of your lines. Always keep moving and looking for better angles.
Even if you think you "got it' keep moving and shooting, because sometimes things will appear to change, between capture and the darkroom.
Hope this helps.
