Steven,
Many thanks for your critique. I will be working on making those changes that are achievable with this painting.

I have to confess to taking the reference myself, so I have no one to blame for the pose and composition but myself. It seems a recurring problem with composition in my paintings to make things too squared-off, losing dynamism, and blocking rather than inviting. Maybe I'm thinking too much like an engineer. I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestion of resources on the fundamentals of composition.
