I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: I like how candid this image is, I could believe you were invisible. I like the high contrast treatment too. I particularly like the pipework to his left.
Critical stuff: The strange smoothness of the fabrics - looks like something you might get with Topaz. I'm afraid I'm not a fan of that look (though I do confess to having used it myself before.)
