A little more thought would have brought this to artistic and technical succcess. As it stands, it lacks interest and the rather odd framing and DOF do not reflect on the title in a positive way. Perhaps a different approach would have been to go from sharp to vague in a more linear fashion bringing to mind a space elevator. The background could also have helped create some impact for this image.
i like the contrast and textured reflection. i'm not sure about the bottom left corner, it might have been a benefit to make it all white. just my opinion though :)
