The way that the shadows stream from the right, it feels like anything that "interrupts" a shadow so prominently should be the left "end point" of the image. Having the termite mound on the right, juxtaposed with the way the lighting is playing out in the background, makes the composition feel awkward. I hope that this makes some sense and that you might be able to apply this kind of thinking to future images. Cheers,
