Wow what a great picture. It looks so simple but yet so appealing. I guess it is the simplicity of it that makes it so appealing.

I am glad your shot did better then you have predicted. No, i don't think you have to narrow DoF. And no, the "thing" on the right does not bother me, did not see it before reading your note. I wonder if it would have been empty without it...they eye would just wonder off...And to the contrary, i like this Short DoF, it makes it "final" in a way (if you know what i mean). As for freedom, persoannly, yes i can see the connection. The quesion is though, freedom, for who? Her freedom or his freedom? Maybe it is freedom for both...The grain, well, i love grain so...

Congratulations.
