This picture creates an optical illusion for me. One minute the dark part looks like it is around the corner from the pinkish colored bricks, then the next it looks like it is the around the corner of the brownish colored bricks.
Interesting visula trick as to which section of brick is the one in front. Good texture on that section of facing that's parallel to the light, but the larger plane of brickwork displays no texture at all - oddly enough, it actually looks completely smooth, to the extent that it might even be a painted or printed panel. For a really saitisfying balance of composition, perhaps the right side is taken too far out of frame. Intriguing work though.
Texture is there to meet the challenge. Possibly a better foreground focus on the pink brick would bring out more of the needed texture. It's a very good rendition but maybe could use just a little more to keep the viewer interested and 'in the picture.'
The lighting on this brick just doesn't offer a strong sense of the texture. I also think it would be stronger without the inclusion of the small light post or whatever that is in the lower right. I do like the angle of the shot a lot.
with shots like this, I get a feeling of patterns not texture. My contructive comment would be to make this a close up or makro and you got yourself a winner.

+ There are a lot of textures; you certainly meet the challenge.
- The photo isn't really appealin to me. Photo could use a little more contrast.
