I think this image works so well because you've broken the rules. It doesn't immediately bring to mind a captured image, but the view seen through your eyes where you just happened to be at the time, rather than positioning yourself for the best shot. Which is what I would have done. It's enticing also that the beautiful horserider is only just in frame.
Regards, Gary

I also thought the same thing that it might look flat in b&w.

Thanks for your comment.I tried it in B/w but the result is rather flat and it loses the intimate atmosphere created in part by green leaves.

I was confused about the title when I first saw this. Now I get it. Yes breaking rules is always fun and sometimes creative. Why not try something different in photography. I would say this one works very good here. This might also have worked great in b&w.

An interesting comment Dave;she was indeed on a horse and it was the scene of the two men in the carriage behind that prompted the photo.The unusual crop was in fact,initailly,caused by certain unwanted elements in the scene but once I had examined the various crop solutions to this problem i settled on this crop which lends a touch of mystery to the scene.

Hi, Tony. This is an interesting viewpoint. I get the feeling that there is more to this photo than meets the eye, evoking vivid memories for those who were there. In a way, I think that's why we take photos, as the experience is more than a two dimensional page. Sometimes the photo suggests more than there was, and other times less. In this case the thumbnail doesn't grab the eye, it doesn't do the photo appropriate justice.
I really like the old men in the background, with the attractive woman on what I presume is a horse. On my moniter it's a little dark, though my laptop moniter isn't calibrated. Cutting her face in half is an intriguing twist, with offside placement a unique choice. Breaking rules, indeed.
Dave
