Great job. You've broken up the monotony with the opposing lines in the corners. A little on the warm side but maybe you intended it that way. Try making it just a tad cooler and see what you think though.
Beautiful and provacative the simple elegance is a plus in demonstrating texture. An added bonus is the figured raised wood grain which expertly compliments the subject matter of the challenge. A perfectly executed composition properly framed with pleasing angles in addition. A worthy ribbon contender and certainly a top ten. Well done.
