From my point of view, the reflectioin in this case is not so expressive. I'd cut bottom part.

Interesting composition. I like this photo.
Probably, it'd be better to move POV down a little to show whole ark at the right.

Paul, is this a photo - or it's just an "observation"?
If this is a photo, I'd like to say, that technical quality is not enough for photoforum. BW is bluish, a lot of noise, low contrast, problems with shadows.
If this is an observation - thank you, it's interesting to see.
Regards,
Serge

It's a very long tradition of americal photography called in common "abandoned". Aa for me, it's connected with the absence of interesting scenes to capture. At least, from my experience in Texas.
And the best samples are really good, with nice mood. But here just a shot of "Real Estate Agent".
I remember very interesting album
Abandoned America by Steve Gottlieb, Sleeping Beer Press, of ca.2003. This is really interesting.

Serge

I agree in principle about AA works. But in this particular case I think that Alfons express his idea. Black figure of the man - and light space of Nature.

Nice mood and b&w.
It's a kind of compromise here. You icluded trees, etc. below. But in this case I'd like to see trees in whole size, not cutted below.
Or you should live beach and man only (like my photo from San-Sebastian).
In current state this is very nice photo with small issues:)

Hola Alfons,
1. I know all reasons about "absence of sky". And finally it's author's decision - publish such photo or not. I wrote about my firm belief - photo with holes must not be published.
2. It doesn't matter why photographer received "hole" on the image. If he just overexposed his shot - it's simple technical issue, nothing to discuss. If this is just structurless sky - it's still a problem. Let me explain why.
Every piece/part of the image should contain information or help to express that emotions author would like to express. In this sence absence of sky is HOLE. There is no information for audience. So, outhor did NOT do everything possible for meximum of expression.
2. About contrast. My point about treatment is as follows - everything must be done according author's idea. In this case I was trying to understand your's one - and did not success in this. I do not understand why you need so high contrast.
Of course, you can say "I just would like to do in such a way, it's my photo!!!" And you'll be absolutely right. But in this case nothing to discuss...
Regards,
Serge

Alfons,
1. I told about PANORAMA from vertical shots. Framing should be horizontal, of course.
2. I understand, why sky is absent:) It's typical situation. I'd like to say, that real photos MUST have the sky. Otherwise it's not suitable for publishing. From technical point of view.
So or you have good weather with nice blue sky or clouds - or you're trying to hide this issue with b&w, for e.g. Or you do not shoot at all.
I mean not "you" personally, I'm about photographer (icluding me).
It's just a necessary demand for normal photo.
Regards,
Serge

IMHO, or photo should give common view (without details) - or photo should show fine details. Intermediate variant is succesfull quite rare (at least from my experience).
Then, composition is not perfect. Tree nor in the center, not at 1/3. Framing could be wider, I'd like to see more sky and clouds.
Regards,
Serge

It's very interesting for me to see how peoples leave in small villages in Spain. And I like very much what I see here. Cosily and beautiful.
Shot is overcontrasted and not perfectly framed (I'd try panorama from vertical frames). And sky is absent:(

Interesting. Nice color of the leaf. Good texture of the stone. I'd framed a little bit higher - to move leaf in the left corner and to stress the diagonal of the black holes.

Imho, to show a wide palette of pastels is more interesting here. One possible variant below.
I mean exactly this when wrote that your's photos demand more sophisticated treatment. Most interesting point in such type of shots are colors and transitions between them.
