I like it because it is different...and I like the light...especially since it is strait out of the camera...Confession...... I have been playing with something similar!
The light and the contrast a excellant. B&W have always been a fav of mine since I started photography.

hey pyro, long time no speak...love your stuff as always. my 2 cents, with utmost respect!: (1) can see the background and since it's SOOC, gotta fix it the old fashioned way, otherwise the lighting is perfect for the subject (2) the crop is killing the flow by cutting of the tip of the skull at the bottom and seems to close to the prong at the top right (3) not sure the bones below add anything as placed, since it is hard to see what they are (4) love the euro mount for the entry, but that straight on shot feels overplayed...might i humbly suggest some test shots of a 3/4 angle to see if it feels fresher? (for lack of a better word considering your subject and title are dead and death )
Nice shot : great light to reveal all the textures. Like the classic centered composition. Background is a bit disturbing on the right but not that much.
