Welcome to FM!

Interesting concept, I like how the face is balancing the composition. However imo the bench appears awkwardly positioned and truncated. imo it should be a bit closer in the frame. Also the perspective doesn't really work. In my mind, I can envisage a nice (albeit boring) image where you are facing the brick wall directly, with the bench on the bottom left thirds position and the face in top right thirds position. Also imo best to lose the black grate at the top

A popular saying is what doesn't add to the photo detracts from it

Thanks for sharing!

Welcome Adam.
I'm not sure I get your intent here. Since you have titled the image A Bench, I'll respond to that. The bench is a bit cut off and placed at the edge of the frame. The face competes with the bench, if the bench is the subject. If the image is about their inter-relationship, I dont think the angle really works. Too much distance between the elements.

Can you clarify your goals.
