I love the sentiment and the compostion. The lighting seems inverse to what I perhaps would like to see. The background is kinda dominating the image because the light is so intense in comparison to the main subject.
Easy for me to say, but I feel it needs taking at a different time of day. That is, of course, if you can do it again.
Do like the shot though. How about a bit of selective colouring on the wreaths'?
