On a run-through here, Mike, and will return, but on first glimpse my eye caught the horizontal line of the base of the nose. The nostril on our left is higher than the right. The line is out of parallel with the horizontals of the eyes and mouth. (Of course, if that's the way it appears in nature, Well Done! But I suspect that what's happened is something that can sneak up on you when a figure's head is slightly tilted. We have a tendency to Ouija-board the features into the horizontal level we "expect" to see when we view a face.)

"Ouija-board the features" is a technical term of art that is new and may not yet appear in the texts.
