Alecia, I don't know what to make of this; you scored very well, placing in the top 25 of a challenge with many excellent images, so clearly the majority of voters approve of what you've done here. However, I'm not nearly as positive about this, myself.
I will grant you that you have an eerie, striking, memorable image. It's breaking a lot of "rules", but I can only presume you're aware of that and did it intentionally, and you're to be applauded for following your own instincts and aesthetics here.
So I'm not even going to attempt to discuss areas of potential "improvement", because they'd involve MY concept of what YOUR image ought to look like, and that's probably of no interest to you. If I'm wrong on that, drop me a PM telling me to have at it, or better yet mail me a color jpg of this, and we might develop an interesting dialogue. It's up to you :-)
Regardless, it IS a memorable image and one that makes me look at it closely, so it's all good in the end :-)
