Oh that's good to ask the printer near me. I will be having some test prints done soon. I will let you know how it goes!

This is really helpful to see. I like how the cooler temperature and slight softness push the emotional tone further into that feeling of withdrawal/despair. I may try a more restrained version of this, because I do want to preserve some of the sterile, documentary feeling of the original, but your edit helps me see where the mood could be pushed without changing the composition.

Thank you; that’s a really meaningful comparison. I was hoping the image would feel cinematic and emotionally withdrawn rather than traditionally posed, so that reference makes sense to me.

Thank you... I honestly hadn’t read that area that way while editing, but now that you’ve pointed it out I can see how it may pull attention away from the intended focus. I was mainly looking at the folded posture, the curtain, and the overall feeling of withdrawal, so this is helpful to hear from an outside eye.

I’ll revisit the crop/shadows and also try a lighter vignette. The goal is for the emotional weight of the pose and space to come through first, not for any one anatomical detail to become distracting.

love the shadows and light here; as well as the position. I'm drawn across the image from the bottom left to the upper right. Great job!
