Can you guys tell me what you think of this one? Or interesting ways to make it better?

On a subject like this, one that is so large, I would go in close and focus on a bulb, or a line of bulbs and adjust settings (f stops primarily) to create a shallow depth of field. Or do a diptych; the first shot one of great detail close up; the second a larger landscape of the entire structure.

if the lights were on it might bring out a bit more.

I apprciate the comments guys, but I disagree with this, because I was going for the effect of having the viewers eye go up the picture using the angle. I think this shot would be much more boring and not as good if it were just a basic shot of the whole lighted fence or a close up of just one bulb, because I was going for a weird angle like this, and personally for me, I think that (Well at least my own eye) is drawn up the photo by the continous string of lights, and that was the effect I was going for
But hey, if it doesnt do anything you, then it doesnt do anything for you
Once again, thanks for the comments and advice
