I like this better, but find the right part "somewhat weak", maybe in the same sense that Ralph Gibson said (of one of his own pictures): "Energy flows out through there".
- eureka!: This work had better been presented with a gentle, dark strip of "bacground" around it...
(It seems to me that the bright "frame-line" around the "subject", is rather not enough.)
Now, as I have been looking at the picture again and again, intermittently while writing this comment - I came to learn how gentle and tender it is in the best of senses, and I'd conclude by: "Don't touch it - leave it as it is!". Obviously, this work may end up as one of my favorites!
Well done!...
