Enzie,

This is just a quick and crude attempt to show that the pose/composition plays a big role and contributes to the feeling of depth or not. I usually encourage and practice doing thumbnail roughs to help decide layout and composition. I have cropped and retouched a little but the figure now commands more presence and I now feel that the background doesn't have to be doctored as much.

You've been a good sport. Don't feel overwhelmed. A lot has been thrown at you.
