Hi Vince,

Beautiful shot.

I share your views about such pictures. The tension that such images create is never resolved and that's what makes these pictures so fascinating.

Rather than giving everything in the scene to the viewer, you allow him to interpret or infer or just simply wonder about the image.

Cheers.

Datta.

Ray,
Thanks,
My son Wes, a good shooter in his own way, agrees with you %100 - but, I knew I wanted it this way when I shot it.I thought about that a lot when I was messing with it in PS but I like it this way - I love pictures with mysterious things happening just outside the frame a la Lee Friedlanderhttp://www.masters-of-photography.com/F/friedlander/friedlander.html and it balances the shoulder on the left.

Very nice 3D effect. I think I would have cropped a little tighter however. I find the arm somewhat annoying on the right
