Thank-you very much, Alex. It is very rewarding to know you appreciate the things about my painting that I find most valuable. I did (and still do) have in mind your comments about each part should be focussed on and worked with the same intensity as every other part, and the shadow area is worrying me, so I think I will work it more into the background. At the moment it feels not quite resolved - as though I haven't made up my mind whether I want it to be a shadow with the feeling of a solid figure or vice versa.
