Elegant indeed...
Would be MUCH better without this strange frame, unbalanced for an image where balance is everything.

That's pretty neat with the curve in alignment. It makes a nice perspective study with the curve adding a lot to the concept of space and distance in the shot.

Comment by Art Roflmao:
Composition: 2 - If I didn't count the massive white on the left it woulda been a 7 for composition
Technical: 5 - Again, the oops on the border cost you on the technical points as well
Creativity: 6
Appeal: 5 - Did I mention that big white space on the left?
Challenge: 7
Overall Calculated Average Score: 5

I assume the border was a mistake and it sucks getting hammered on that, but that's the reality - maybe not as bad as "oops, I left the lens cap on, but there really was an incredible shot behind it" but we vote on the final presentation. Now, if you meant to make the border like that, I apologize for thinking it was a mistake, but it still very much affects my opinion of the overall image.

The offset framing really spoils this for me ... shame it's a good shot.

I think that border conflicts with the subject matter a bit too much. Great image though, nice comp.
