Eloise,
This picture could have been better with a miniumum of post processing. First, a crop is definitely in order. The trash and the little bit of the work area flag in this picture are much more distracting than losing the base of the of the structure. Also, I'm not convinced of the need for color here. There are many distinct textures present, but the color feels washed out. Perhaps a bit more contrast and/or a conversion to B&W would help?
These are all things you should think about before the submission stage. Sit down and look at your picture carefully. Think about what's needed in the shot and what isn't. Setzler gave this bit of advice - go through your picture with a fine tooth comb and ask yourself "why" about each of the elements. If you can't answer that question, you need to think about if that element is really necessary.
I hope this makes sense and best of luck in future challenges!
