Nice idea and presentation, Cheryl. Might possibly benefit from a bit less of the "thought" image residing in the very dark hair portion of this portrait. Best wishes. -Art

Thank you both very much!

Art, do you suggest this change for visual balance... or to tone down the rhetoric?

I considered removing this element for both reasons...but kept it because the figure is from one of his more controversial photos.

Cheryl, I have no issue with the rhetoric, but it is very difficult to see the outstretched arms within the hairline; and I thought it possible to improve the concept if they were less subtile. With respect to balance, I like the bright lower and dark upper regions, so bringing the arms out more might prove to be tricky at best or even just plain unbalancing, but I was hoping you might be able to find a way to make it work. Best wishes, -Art

Oh... less subtle! I thought you meant quite the opposite.
I'll give that a try and see what happens. Thanks Art.
