Normally I'd offer you a revert, Graham, but your move provides an excellent demonstration of the type of gut wrenching, game ending blunder that can occur in Oust.

No, because 16 enables Black to do the following, forcing White to kill. One of the central tactics is forcing your opponent to kill. Don't be killing willy nilly when you don't even have to.

or the following, since knight move connections are weak. You can't join them and you can't squeeze another stone in between them.

Save 28 for later. White could move there any time. Better would have been A10 or B11, preventing Black from taking up two of White's spaces like this:

Terrible move when Black could have done the following, where White now has the option of killing and then using up a free move, or enabling Black to form a black 6 using 52.
