Not sure what happened here, Alex. Very original and well thought of. I thought this would be up there in the top twenty at least. But 85 percentile is not bad.
Thanks man, I was a little disappointed too. I was quite happy with my idea and it got me to take this photo, which I like :) I appreciate your comment!

Interesting thought provoking image. The layout is makes this a strong image. the triangle though is insignificant when it should be a key element. I hope you place well.
This has a gritty feel to it, which makes it an emotive piece. Triangle is strong here below the wrists. If it were me, I would have tried to capitalize on creating more triangular effects above the arms too, by cropping closer to the thumbs, though not sure how I would have handled the right and left edges to make the triangle sides more true. That way, a pattern of triangles across the top, the main in the middle, and another one implied in the reflection (which could have been made more obvious perhaps by stronger lighting in the lower half of the photo). A great idea, good execution.
I suppose you looked at it this way, but I wonder if bringing the bottom up to just below the visible reflections and extending the top border upward (the same amount you lost on the bottom) would not have more suggested unknown people's faces and the conflicts within. As it is, the faces seem to be nonexistent and a conflict is ultimately more mental than physical. Not second guessing you, just wondering if it would add or detract. I like what you attempted here. Very nice shadows to make additional triangles.
