No, no! I got your point, Shay, and thanks indeed for it. It is what I want 
to achieve, beyond the strictly anecdotal. Still, I have to say that it is a 
difficult balancing act. In a sense, I want the beholder to become an 
accomplice in the scene he/she is watching, turning him/her into a peeping 
tom as it were.
I want to add one more element to this scene and I am aware that it may 
destroy the effect, making it too explicit. If that is so, I shall leave it 
out.
