First, the corner of the pipe and the bottom left of the wall are a little bright and distracting. Also, the ladder in the back distracts from the pipe in the foreground.
Other than that, good work! I'd like to see what else you have in store!

I kind of like the ladder, it adds a sort of natural frame.
I like the light in the image and the black and white processing done. Seems the point of focus is a bit too much on the lower end of the pipe instead of on the wheel, which seems to be a more important element to me.
Maybe a bit less depth of field (wider aperture) to blur the background a bit more and make the front wheel and pipe pop.
Overall, a nice image and I totally agree, would love to see what else you have ;)
