I like the steely locked up feeling. Your photo subject comes over in human feeling as well as visual experience - yet it is stark and devoid of human content.
the placing and final vote on this is crazy! I love it and was one of the 9s in your voting.
In fact, I've been impressed with your whole portfolio - another great photographer (me being the other :-) ) that doesn't shoot exactly what the crowd here is looking for - but I really admire your work!
Now you'll click through and see that my portfolio is in hiding - I got some very unsavory comments on what I had uploaded - so I pulled it. :-)
