The only think I would consider changing is the cropping. It almost seems like you have intentionally cropped it right at your knee and at the tip of the nose of the skull. It makes it look like it's resting on the bottom of the picture. I generally don't like croppings right at the joints; it creates too much 'pressure.' I would crop it just a little below your knee, so that we can see your calf and let the image 'breath.' I would also crop more on the top of the photo. There seems to be too much space there.
But I think what you've done was intentional, and that's a good [link] Maybe you're trying to create that tight feeling, I don't know. There might be others ways to express that without cropping at the joints which from everything I know about art, it's a no-no.
I do love looking at it.
That's my two cents and sorry for my bad grammar

1.
an article or essay criticizing a literary or other work; detailed evaluation; review.
"Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it."
— Haruki Murakami (Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman: 24 Stories)
Definition one allows me the freedom of choosing the detailed evaluation/review aspect rather than the criticizing part. I had to double check the definition to make sure an evaluation devoid of anything negative could still be qualified as a critique.
Besides the obviously beautiful elements that strike you initially, I think this image succeeds because it provokes a wide range of emotions. A breath-taking blend of figural and scenic photography with 'the strange' beautifully utilized as an ambiguous accent to the overarching mood. The attention to detail is matched only by the cutting style and presentation.
This piece has a mythological feel with a punk element. It occupies a category of visual fantasy all its own...but it does, for some reason, bring to mind what I've felt from reading Murakami ...Which is a compliment of unspeakable proportions. One of the finest pieces I've had the good fortune of encountering here on DA.
