You're right Alex. I'm going to remove the post, and get a stand-in for the lighting on her arm. But why crop it above the bend in her arm, I've always felt that an arm leading straight down looked blocky, boring, etc and I love that little sensual curve of a soft bend. Her left arm creates the slight impression of a circle and keeps the eye in the painting.

Convince me. What is your reasoning? Please keep in mind that I value your opinion and respect your talent, I'm not being argumentative, just curious.

Jean
