Hey Chase,

I know it's frustrating to post something and get no or little feedback -- It's happened to me before and it's incredible how deafening the silence is. May I suggest hunting out a few names of people you would like an opinion from, and literally sending them an private email asking them to give their feedback on the thread.

Anyway, my comment would be that what you did here is excellent, and frankly I wouldn't change anything. It's certainly out of the "traditional" genre, but it's emotional and visually well balanced I like how you reserved the use of color to the person, and I like how you defined the abstract shape as a door just with the knob detail.

Just a thought -- I think you should frame this, and may I suggest an ample mat around it, in a mid value that doesn't group with either the black or the white, and make the color of it an in-your-face red, which will play up the emotion of the piece, and visually tie with the red pen accent.

Hope this is helpful.
P.S. Nice web site!
