I agree with this being a pretty cool shot. The shadows already add a lot, but it seems like they could have been made a bit more prominent to strengthen things. The shallow depth of field works interestingly with the shadows, in any case. You've got an interesting battle between leading lines and sharp, small details fighting it out.
I don't find this photo boring at all. I think that the very narrow depth of focus is quite interesting.
It honestly saddens me that you should think so. It is hard to value a photograph that the photographer clearly does not value. I am going to pretend that I never saw the title, and give this photo a 7
I don't know what your score is looking like right now, but if it is not high then I really believe your title is to blame.
