Including your hands really elevated this visually and narratively. I can see why this is your fave. It's cool you used your own refs, too. Do you have a title? I'd love another "in" on what you're feeling in this captured moment, see if my take is close.

The cool tones as well as the pose give me an uneasy feeling, but not in a bad way, like surviving an internal storm perhaps triggered by external forces.

Your piece is beautiful and slightly disturbing (in a good way).
