I think the yellow border is distracting. It pulls your eyes away from the focal point in the middle of the pic. The lighting is fading off into nothing, and you disrupt it with the border.
I can see this being a winner with dpc members :) First off I think you've nailed the composition and like the backkgpund. Am intrigued as to how you got the opacity of the hands, long exposure and moving the hands out of the shot? (bumping 1)
I dont' care for the lighting although I realize what you were trying to portray with it. Also, the backdrop is all wrinkled....either use a very shallow DOF to blur it, or iron it.
