A picture after my own heart!
Simple, indeed, but highly effective. The tonally, colors, and geometry in perfect balance.
Were it mine, I’d be tempted to crop off the upper part, just under the brick wall. Without that recognizable element, the image would be even more abstract.
On the other hand, I can see why some would argue that the bricks patch balances well with the darker patch on the ground. This is especially so when the image is seen as a thumbnail. Once enlarged, the bricks start to bother me.
