P.S. On second glance I agree with Bill and Jerome. As the image came up (top to bottom) I thought the flare was the subject. But if the inscription is the subject, then the flare is a distraction. And placement a bit off-center would help.
Alternatively, you could crop off the pedestal, and then the flare would be the first focus of a viewer's eye. I would crop the left side, too.
