One word to describe this: amazing.
A mixture of subtle tones, and a very stark composition make this a winner. The long exposure gives it a very surreal, ethereal feel and this fits in perfectly with the abstract sculpture that is the subject.
The choice of colour is beautiful too, with a monochromatic red/blue filter ensuring that colour doesn't act as a distraction to what is otherwise a simple, bold composition. The path, angles in the grass, the spike through the globe and the horizon all provide lines leading the eye straight into the globe. The only suggestion I would make is that perhaps, were the opportunity to arise again, I'd suggest perhaps including more of the ground and a little less of the sky to frame the globe in the top third of the photo.
Well done!
Compositionally it is also incredibly striking.
