Lines

[Ilaria Rosselli Del Turco]

Dear all,

Hope you can help me with this issue. Here's a new portrait I am working on. I am on the third day of work on it but I still have one doubt. As you can see from the image the boy is sitting on the stairs. My question is: is the bannister, whose direction coincides with the line of the shoulder, somehow disturbing?

I thought I might shift its direction a little, but am not sure if instead the fact that this two strong diagonals meet on the boy's eye actually enhances the eye itself, which is very beautiful.

I already had to rotate the original photo a little to correct the perspective and make the slits almost vertical.

Thanks for advising on this or any other issue
