I like it. I'd get rid of the V-shaped pair of lines on the middle right, though, whether by cloning them out or lightening them. I find them distracting.

I like it very much and agree with Jeremy with the dark V-shaped lines.
Bravo!

Now I like it. The new version feels better balanced.

It was a good idea. The out-of-focus part ruins the concept. Back to the drawing board.

Yes. Excellent. You've also tamed the small highlights in the rope, which I'd not even noticed before.

Jeremy and francois, thanks.

Slobodan, unfortunately the drawing board on this image is long gone -- this was not a setup shot.  If I could I would definitely give your suggestion
a try.  I really can't tell if it would improve this image.
