For some reason, I want to like it. The problem is the composition. It is too centred to be dramatic, and to off centre to be harmonic. To me it looks like you have tilted the camera slightly to the right. This takes part of the drama away. There is also something with the proportions. Because of the lens, the turn is gigantic in the foreground, narrowing in the background. This makes it look almost like a circle. It's not a roundabout, it's a dramatic turn! Or isn't it?
Been thinking of alternative takes, but haven't got any better ideas. So, for me, this is an unphotogenic turn ;-) As a dramatic turn, it doesn't work for me.
