The right half of the photo is lovely. The left half, IMO, serves no purpose. :( Perhaps I'm missing something, I'd like to hear what the author wanted to do here.
Edit to add: Came back to look one more time twenty minutes later, and the photo's title, finally, kicked in for me. I'm blushing. Forget what I said above. :) Great work.
Interesting approach, but it doesn't really do much for me, especially with the "extra" shadow at the bottom center and the scattered extra marks. Still, looks better on second look than it did on first (I vote before I comment), so a bump up is warranted.
