Funny idea. I'd have gone for a solid colour background, though, instead of the wood. I think it just ends up being too much of the yellow/tan tones. Still a nice shot.
I like this idea. But, I don't care for the background. To me, it is not separated enough. Don't get me wrong I like the idea, but the wood is just really over powering for me.
I love the interpretation for the challenge...It's refreshingly quirky (lol), but it does seem to tilt to the right a bit. I think a different background, one that does not compete with your image, would have helped your score.
