I like the intent of this shot. It's different, but has appeal. I agree that it is quite grainy. Perhaps if you shot this at a lower ISO.

Also, this is a very dark photo. I think if it were lightened up a bit so we could see more of the camera, it would have done better.

Overall, I'd have to say that this is a very creative shot, but could have been processed/shot a bit better.

Creative and unique shot. I think I'd perfer a less golden tone, maybe go grayscale to rid of it?
