If you want I'll explain you off-list why it is so good: long dissertations seem to be negated, too lately. ;-) I would call it 'Self Portrait', though: it will drag the attentive more into the image to make them discover that something that initially looks very abstract, can reveal wonderfully realistic details, if one takes some time to really look at it.
