This could be a more interesting image had the frame been vertical and not so closely cropped where ya lose some of the image.

I think maybe if you wouldve cropped it in alittle more it mite have worked better....

Interesting subject. Would have like to have seen the shot composed portrait rather than landscape. Also not sure about the tones used. Good effort.

I like the tonal values you chose and the offset composition works quite well. Good luck in the challenge.

I would have had a much tighter crop. I don't think the background helps.
