Hi Christian ... Finally got around to looking at the pic. My reaction is certainly far less effusive than Frank's. I like what you tried to do, but somehow it doesn't seem to come off very well. Maybe by including a little more background and a nice vignette the image would be improved. hard to say without seeing it, though.
However, I like that you're pushing your envelope, expanding your vision and experimenting. Keep working on the concept.
