Knaresborough North Yorkshire

We escape out of the top right corner . . . . . . . . .

and don't come back.

Well, that takes me back to my childhood, visiting my grandad who used to have an engineering company in the town.
 
In addition to what Ian said, for me, and I don't even know if this was possible or not, if the curves of the arches in the upper-left corner were complete it would cause my eye to flow around the arch and back down into the center of the photograph. As it stands now, my eye seems to drop into that "notch" and doesn't return. That said, I'm nit-picking here.

Good point Alan, something I had not taken any notice of during the composition.
 
No it’s not the most compelling image, however I think Ian might be after a little feedback on the print, not about ones eye slipping out of the frame.

It’s a massive improvement from a week ago prints, nice mid tones and deep shadows plus a pleasing contrast, I think the burn in the sky is a little obvious and perhaps needs re thinking how to pull that down to be more natural if possible, all in all a big move forward in DR printing, Andrew Sandersons advice and vaste knowledge in DR printing seems to be working Ian.
 
Martin, I agree. A very much better print.
Ian has made good progress. We should remember that for most printers, learning to print is an uphill task. Ian has had to undertake a difficult climb downhill from his undoubted digital printing skills, before he could begin his present journey upwards.
On this screen, I'd like to see a little more shadow detail, and the top right boundary needs to be better defined, but the paper print itself may be better.
Others have already commented on the composition. I suspect it was a very attractive scene in real life, but real life is not our concern here.

Needs the start of the next arch ideally, I'm not one for rules of composition but a wider angle lens might help with this.
