Strange...I can't really tell you why I like this shot so much but I really do. The depth of field is really good and having it shot off level adds to the interest.
I'll vote as high as my conscience will allow. Interesting composition. I like the patterns on the marble. I find the blurred forground to be a bit distracting. If you'd moved the marble down and to the right some it would have elminated most of it and placed your subject close to a third.
