Went to the Pompeii ruin during my vacation, absolutely amazing city! I was amazed at all the intricacy and their construction. Everything in the city fit together perfectly like a puzzle.
Editing mostly included playing with the levels, put the saturation a bit, and sharpened.

I'd have to agree with some of the other comments.... A closer shot, would still give us the mixture, but at the same time give us more drama through the detal and texture. From this distance, it minizes the feel of the piec. About one quarter of what you have here, in the same image size, is something I would really like to see.
Your focus looks good, but there is so much going on, that it is hard to concentrate in one spot to make sure. The eye is constantly pulled everywhere, which is very distracting.
Color, saturation, and hue are done well. Lighting from a sharper angle should help with the texture. As is it seems a little flat.
I think this would have benefitted from a closer crop. The justaposition of the black diamonds and red bricks is brilliant. It would be nice if the picture had been taken closer so we could see more of the texture.
