Yes, I'd vote this a Hot but barely. Let me explain. It's a hot setup and apparently I'll give you rider props because that's incredibly aggressive. The frame looks too small for you though. Maybe you need that to get the drop that you like? But if the bike had less of a sloping top tube, maybe the seatpost wouldn't have to be so high. Or at least it wouldn't look that long. And the frame for me isn't that exciting. But overall, if I saw your bike on the street, you'd get props from me. Nicely done.
p.s. - the bike is nicely done. Your photoshop work leaves a little to be desired. Your dodging has created the 'glowing bike look'. Raise the overall exposure in levels or do a more careful job dodging the bike...
