An interesting choice for meeting the subject challenge - very abstract and different. The image could be a little more dramatic. A little more focus would have helped this image score higher. The author's intent is plain and understood, but it falls just short of hitting the mark. A good, solid entry into the challenge.
interesting shot. just out of curiosity, why did you make the border so small on the right side? also, it looks like maybe you tried to paint out or clone the background a little bit bit missed some spots
