This is definitely a different POV and you did a good job on that
1st Impressions, too dark and too grainy. The grain and darkness adds to the picture to give it a dramatic edge, but there is too much. Your ISO was well up there at 1600, I think if you had some more natural or side strobe or even a table lamp it would have helped a tad with the wifes figure, hands and grain.
I am not sure if in Post processing you bumped up the reds or if this is from the grain, but in hue and saturation you could have brought it down just a tad. The red does add more drama, as it gives the overall feeling of impending doom, but it is way too much on the coin,
The point of view is excellent, it makes the viewer the one behind the hands and turns them into the aggressor. Your DOF is also good with this and the position of the hands in the shot fills the whole shot.
Remember to use up all of your allocated space of 640, as it important to have a bigger show.
You did good on this shot, well done
