My original comment "The blue color is strong, but that's about the only thing about the image that is."
Adding additional comments that may be more helpful.
I really love the unusual color cast - the bluesness throughout is exceptional. As an abstract blue figure it's an impressive image. Compositionally, the angle is nearly perfect with the converging parallel lines ending in the white area at the top. Finally, the small black area at the very top acts nicely to hold the image together.
On the other side of the coin, the image has some serious problems. The foreground is totally soft - which destroys any chance of using leading lines to lead the viewer into the image. The only area in focus is about 1/3 into the frame. I do not mind the softness at the top - that adds a bit oy mystery. I would recomment a) using a tripod if there is any way, b) Selecting the most closed down aperture you could, and c) Focus so that the focus is sharp on the foireground and falls off as you get closer to the top.
The subject matter itself, the roof, is also very strong, but I find the collection of leaves to be rather haphazard and not all that interesting. Pehaps the addition of one item, such as an old tennis ball or something, that could act as a center of interest, would help. It would be very effective if that item was a yellowish color. Perhaps a yellow-green tennis ball, lit with a small flashlight?
Hope this help amplify my original rather curt and short comments.

| This is really dark. I think it loses some of the detail because of that. |
