Nice idea and fits the theme so well. I would have loved to see a more liberal crop as the black part is looking more like a border rather than what it signifies actually
Not sure what the story is in this picture, however, I could easy see this photograph gracing the cover of a book. You clearly have a very creative eye. Well done.
