Sorry Marko. I have no intention of entering into your ongoing food fight with Rolando, but in this case he's right. The jet black background doesn't 'fade' into the floor. Instead there is a rather jaring transition to what looks like wood plank flooring with some crap near the transition point which is distracting. It wouldn't be difficult to P'shop a more gradual transition which would strengthen the overall image. It's a beautiful image, but it does have a flaw which in my opinion damages it.

As a personal and unsolicited aside, you are very good photographer, but watch the ego, it might be getting into your way. You have a tendency to attack anyone who finds any fault in your images. We all screw up on occasion! And personally, I have not been intimidated by a photographer since a circa 1985 workshop with Lucien Clergue in which he accused me of trying to set photography back 50 years.
