nice composition and interesting choice of frame. the focus seems a little soft, which might have more to do with the way you lit it/post processed it to erase the background. i think you are allowed to submit a bigger picture and you would have benefited from doing that.
I think this could benefit from being at least twice as big - I\'m having to really peer to make anything out, and I know people really aren\'t keen on doing that... Also I\'m not a fan of the \'shadow\' border. I don\'t mean to be mean, but I think this shot could have been presented better - I like the idea.
