hummmm, to me this does not look delicate at all - it fact it looks prickly, sharp and hurtful if touched

Nice use of light for that shadow line. Well set up.

That's definitely a knife.

I play with my students like this. At around 7 years old, they get a real kick out of anyone balancing anything on the face even if its just for a second! Stick a pen on the end of your chin for a half second and they start calling you a magician.

Fun picture.
