LOL, I know, that's highschool biology. In face I've dissected one

Maybe just a bit to the left, as a compromise of sorts? :)

I could guess as much... I once did a picture of a woman silhouette
made of ice, all in flames on the outside, and her heart was burning,
too. Something along the lines that the fire of love can thaw even the
coldest heart. Unfortunately, the pattern I made for the ice
accidentally resulted in a pretty accurate (for such an abstract
picture) depiction of certain parts of her body, so accurate that
everyone I showed it to asked something like 'Did you really need to
go into *that* much detail?" It turned out to be all but romantic :(

Anyway, you seem to have more luck than me :) Your images are always
very emotional. That's why I like them. You also pay attention to such
details, as your reply shows, so that they don't spoil the intent.
Really good work overall and on this image in particular.
