Peter, thank-you for your very kind comments. I am very pleased you like it.

Michael, thank-you also for your positive feedback, and your criticisms. I left the background figure as it is in this one because it was more light than solidity I was aiming for - more the movement of stage light over the form of the face.

Alex, with the light I was trying to keep a bleached feeling to the back face, where the light erases the form to a certain extent. I also felt that the dark was not defined enough as shadow, and somewhat careless, but that it needed to be kept rougher in order to have the fore-figure's details a contrast to it.

I will definitely keep your comments in mind when I work on these things. I think I'll do another version of it or something similar. I want to keep this one as it is for the moment to study the things that work.
