Well, I gave this a 6 for creativity alone! :) Might have known it was yours, Paul. I do admire you for shooting what you want and DPC trends be damned!
Hmmm...well, here's my two cents! :)
This would be a lot better shot maybe if the background and the surroundings of the person weren't so cluttered. the first thing you'd want to get rid of is that rope hanging right in front of the main subject. Also having the person wear a simple shirt without anything on it might be good - less distracting. The background should probably be perfectly clear, with nothing observable in it. But good try though! :) Interesting idea.
