To be honest this appears to be a photo that was entered at the last moment when you didn't have a better idea. I don't mean to be harsh but I just don't find this to be a very compelling photo. I feel it is borderline in meeting the challenge as well because you created the 1 shape yourself so it wasnt naturally occurring. But it's probably close enough. If you had to use your own hand then I think you should have tried to create a semi-abstract, compositionally strong image. Strong, contrasty light and maybe the use of black and white would have created a more visually appealing photo. There is interesting texture in the wall and more could have been done with that with some strong sidelighting. I hope this helps. It's all good practice and that is the main point of this site so I hope you can use this advice in a positive way.
