Maybe you could edit your post and put the photos under each other instead of stretched across the page.
The wall looks great, nice finish and the padlock looks good. Maybe some more ivy and weeds would look good.

Hi Andy. I really like the etched ivy ... it looks great ... but trying to spread one set over an area this size, means it looks a bit thin. It might have been better to to keep it to one side and thicker. I know its expensive, but it does look great. Would you consider adding another set? Id even go for a greener shade to bring it "up" more. Maybe its just the photographs.
That pad-lock is a work of art. Amazing detail at this scale!

I'd maybe add some lichen around the base of the wall, make it look grown in a bit.

I think it looks great, but I reckon the lichen idea is a good one or maybe some sparse grass stems or weeds. Things that would be missed by standard garden maintenance...
