the picture is beautiful but i wish that more of the face were visible (with the highliight on the arm and the visibility of the chest it seems that there is a mask on the face) and the right leg a bit more defined.... But other than that i really love everything else about the picture, including the pose, the shadow, the ball, the sea dn the use of lines running in the near background and converging at the place the figure is. Very nicely done. 9
NIce. Shadow is intriguing, coloring is eyecatching, background is soothing and unobtrusive, subject's face in shadow lends quality of mystery and solitude that cannot be disturbed...
