Hi Laura, Annie, many thanks for your very helpful feedback! I probably change the format of the canvas and reposition the figure.  I tried a golden ratio format canvas for this painting and positioned the face where golden ration lines intersect. However, I think it didn‘t do the job to harmonize and strengthen the composition. I although  struggle with the large very dark area at the bottom – which is maybe not required.

Hi Sboydn, many thanks for the very useful ideas! I never realized that the head/arms relation seem to be incorrect, but now that you say it – I think you are right. That maybe why the head always looked so awkward to me :-). Many thanks
