Not too keen on a subject, or lack thereof, maybe because it all appears a bit flat. But I do find the two patches of red attractive in the way they mirror each other. I think a bit of under exposure would have helped retaining detail in highlights and strenghtening colors, while keeping everything sharper. Also, maybe choosing a later or earlier time of the day would have given you a more dramatic light to play with. But that's just my opinion, no offence taken I hope.

Awwww, I didn't look at the Free Study till now, so I missed out on getting full surprise value for this gorgeous 3-dimensional-2-dimensional paradox. What a beautiful thing it is, and how perfect for the irreconcilable madness implied by the title. But at least now I can make my first approach to Anne Sexton full of an eager hunger. Thank you.

Edit to add:
In a recent forum thread posthumous reflected on the fact that, inter alia, the interaction between title and image was often an opportunity for experiencing a heightened appreciation. This picture and title is a signal example of that. There are many folks who insist that every photograph must be able to stand without its title, presumably taking the view that a 'proper' photograph needs no words to achieve its potential. This picture exposes that view for the dismal bloody defeatism that it is. Without the titular nudge, it's an interesting and lovely thing. With it, the veil is lifted and the viewer is irresistibly invited inside.
