A triumph, Peggy!
What a remarkable POV you've chosen. Truly unique. I don't even know what to call it; sort of 3/4's up, 2/3's down with a slight pivot to the left? What an achievement. I hope everyone realizes how difficult such a delicate and subtle pose is to pull off.
I too am doing a dark-ish background with a hardwood floor. Thanks for the inspiration. (What took you so long to post?
