well, if anything, it looks to me that we should see spikes end-to-end, and that we won't see any of the lower part of the grid, shouldn't we ? You also have more room to show what that grid is attached to, like large strap of metal, or something.
Thought about a statue that holds spears instead, if it still doesn't help ?
Personnally, I'd be more concerned about the uncandy effect of dark-bg-AA'd gate on the lightblue floor to the South.
