This is somewhat of an ordinary subject but it isn't really shot extraordinarily to make it stand out as something awesome. There is really no color and the textures shown aren't really the highlighted as the reason for the photo. You did manage to put the subject nearly in the bottom right third of the shot which is a good composition technique.
