General: Interesting effect with the visible shoes and barely visible legs. Also, good choice to shoot this in the vertical position.
Composition: On the most part the composition is good. The narrow view of the arch suits the vertical position of the image though I do feel it is a bit too tight on top. You may have tried standing back further or shooting from a lower vantage point and pointing the camera up slightly. (I know this would have generated some perspective distortion but you could play with the angle to limit this.)
Exposure: The image is quite dark and therefore doesn't show much detail. Depending on what part of the image you want to emphasize you could spot meter on the back wall or the sides of the arch. You might try spot metering in a couple of places and take and average or bracket to see what the effects of your different choices are. To increase the contrast you need more exposure here.
Impact: Unfortunately due to the lack of contrast there is not much punch to this image.
