I think it is a very involving photo and composition.  Normally, a "square"
composition, to me, tends to squash the dynamics -- sort of pushing in from
all sides, as opposed to say a 1.5:1 ratio.  However, here I see a lot of
energy from left to right.  Maybe it just because I am left-handed.  I keep
wanting to see (forgive me) just a tiny touch of sepia...
