Hi the idea is right but difficult to comment as the image looks totally out of focus.

Colour is the right choice. I converted it to mono and it's way too dark and grey. The colour version, though, is lacking dynamic (or tonal) range, brighter and more contrast needed. It's not very misty in the distance which removes the feeling of depth that there (IMHO) should be. To counter this, you could add some haze to a copy of it using Lightroom's 'dehaze' in a negative way, then blend the two together, reducing the haze with a mask as the ground moves towards the camera. Not sure about those massive walls (are they old bridge parapets?) - they block the compositional travel into the scene. And we need more sky - it's a moody bunch of clouds and would enhance the image with more headroom.
