Great technique with the grainy black and white. Maybe there could be a better composition somewhere in there with just one of the green boxes- but genereally this is well done and interesting
This photo is a little grainy and there doesn't seem to be any purpose to the desaturation. In other words, the wall could very well be shades of gray, so the colored portion don't really stand out.
It looks like you managed the technique pretty well. Although I appreciate the pattern the boxes make, somewhat, I don't find this angled view that appealing. A straight-on composition would have flattened the shapes into a more abstract composition of squares and llines and added interest to what is essentially a very mundane subject.
