Thanks guys for the recent comments.

I liked the way the background elements came out myself in this one. It's one of the few pieces that I have that actually puts the model in a place. I had been giving thought to adding personal items to my work. I consider most of my work to be a reflection of the person, so adding something meaningful to them, I think, would be more appropriate than something of mine. I did not want to show the whole print because I felt it would raise questions about the relationship of a japanese print to the subject, and felt it would have been distracting. I was'nt even paying much attention to the shadow when I was taking the pics, so I'm glad it had a pleasent shape to it.
