Rob,
I love the photo. The hole is almost round, but slightly smashed in on a
couple of sides. And it goes real well with the metallic confusing subject.
I kind of feel upside down when looking at it.
And I happen to like light leaks on the side. It adds an extra dimension to
the negative. Makes it more than just an illusion. I do like the solid
black border as well, but the addition of the light gives some abstraction
to a non abstract photo. It's doing just what emulsion does, it's
registering light that hits it. It kind of knocks the viewer out of their
reverie that the image they are seeing is real. It's not, it's just light
hitting film or paper in some sort of order.
