I like the diffusion/grain effect and the cropping. The tight crop gets my imagination working trying to figure out where this person is and what they are doing.
Somehow I can't get the matting on this site to work. Here I specified: 1st border - size=4, color=#333333, 2nd border - size=25, color=#999999, but the result is totally different. Same goes for the previous image (the colors and widths were different, but the result differed from those, too).
