OOPS!
Was supposed to be posted in the Critiques forum; not quite sure where I put it.

I think this is a marvelous photo! The cool, sophisticated balance of the composition combined with subtle colors really works!

I looked at this earlier and couldn't determine what I'd suggest. So maybe nothing needs to be changed. It is a very interesting photo as it is and I'm still trying to determine how the shadow figure was cast.

Thanks for your perspective, Jer. And the description of what you think is good is helpful.

I have already read your input on the other image, so I can see how you are seeing this a bit better.
So your input on both helps me to see it through others' eyes.

The "shadow figure" is not a shadow. Believe it or not, it is actually another bloom that I arranged to sorta echo this front one. I liked how it did shadow-mimic the front one.
Thanks for the help!
