I like the concept, though the crop seems a bit heavy. There are three graphic planes here: white, tan and black, and all seem to be competing for attention, though the eye, which is the relief and focal point, seems trapped.
I do like the weighted bottom, but the eye might benefit from an off-center positioning (flank right should do).
Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate the comments and the ideas. I will think it over and see what I can do to improve.

Cool shot. I'm a fan of dramatic and unusual cropping. It can make a common object or subject more intriguing as you figure out the shapes and color, seeing the object in a different way. In this case the tight crop serves to keep the eye very visible at 640 pixels. It's truly a matter of taste; go with your gut. :-)
Thank for the kind thoughts. I'm taking your advice and going with my gut.....but with a different image!

This is much better than the previous one. You thought long and hard before pressing the shutter button, and it shows. It's easily my favorite thus far.
