I understand and like what you were trying to do here.
I think to pull this type of image off you need much more shadow and less of what is responsible.
Good exposure control on this.
Keep at it.

Ok, now I look at it I know what you mean. Thanks a lot for looking and for leaving a comment & advice!

I really like the idea although you should have changed the contrast in order to make the shadow stand out more but well done!
