I like this just as it is. I can see there could be other variations with slightly different toning and cropping, as some commentators point out, but these possibilities do not invalidate this image. It has quality.

I'm so impressed with this great photo, I've gotta comment a second time. The simple elegance of the subject, the subtle tonal variations and minimalist use of space all combine to make a truly exceptional picture, in my view. Daring and unconventional without appearing contrived. Please . . . . . don't change anything.

Clean lines, IMHO this is gallery quality, get hung and sold.

That's really cool, high tone taken to the max.

Very striking. I like it as it is, but am more than willing

to look at other versions!
