I like it. Large fields of different tones spiraling around a red center. Plus, you bring the viewer *very* close to the danger. There's even room on the right for text.
The selective desaturation really is fitting for the film subject and title. Some of the furry space to the right is a bit too bright and competes a little too much with the eye.
what I am looking for in this challenge is for a creative 'wow' shot that would go on a movie poster. I think that's what the challenge is all about...this would work OK
