Greetings from the Critique Club!

Well, I can't fault you for not using an interesting POV, that's for sure! At first I had no idea what the frame was, had to see the map first then realize it's an armpit shot, with some cliffs emerging from the person's side :-) I might nitpick at the sleeve/arm being oof, as DPC likes their foregrounds tack, but it all comes down to what works for you.

Clearly you scored some points for that alone but it also cost you a bit in terms of overall score. But if it makes you happy, shoot what you like - works for me and more than a few others here.

Feel free to PM me

Susan
