This is a really good picture, except for one detail which you might have added on purpose. In my opinion the picture would win if you cropped the top right corner out. My eye doesn't want to be distracted from the rows. There is no need to build up tension by that in the picture, the rows work great by themselves.
While the image is cool, it doesn't emphasize texture as far as far as I can see... texture is the surface of something, not the shape of something. :) Also, I would have cropped that orange bit off the upper right.
The lighting is too harsh in my opinion, might have been your intent, but I don't like it very much. with softer lighting, and a subject in the photo this would be good.

+ You picked the right moment of the day to bring out the textures and use the light to give the photo more appeal.
- There isn't much going on in this photo except for the steps and shadows.
