I think you should have cropped the picture to highlight the subject which gets rather lost and remove the obtrusive shadow. Alternatively, get closer or zoom. An interesting subject.
I agree, should be closer and with no shadow. Looks to have been an interesting subject, it would have been nice to see it at a distance to appreciate it.
different angle would have made this pic a bit more interesting. it's a cool subject, and creepy, but i don't really care. also is that your finger in the top left?
