Pretty cool picture, not sure what I am looking at exactly but a great capture. One thing you might try is a square format crop. Not sure but you might like that format better as the center is the real focus. Still a great exposure and a photo that should have done much better in my opinion.
The very high contrast makes it difficult to be sure what this picture is about. The almost detail-less blacks, the mysterious red glows and the blown-out highlights in the circle are too puzzling.
I am no photo expert so my comments are based on how I feel about you picture, I hope they are usefull.
Interesting idea. But the picture - for me - is hurt by the lack of detail in the other ares of the picture, and the burnt out highlights. The circle appears to be around an object, but unfortunatly I cant quite see what that is.
