Jerome,

Actually I was intrigued with the treatment of the shirt because it almost looks like you are pushing color in the lights - but this is hard to see in the image on the screen.

If the shirt does push color and temperature to pop the form, a similar treatment in the flesh would work wonders: for the flesh my mind is calling for a clear treatment of up planes and down planes, not just light and shadow.

I agree with the comments above: the bone in my throat is the background. Even atmosphere can be solidly painted.

Good luck; keep us posted.
