Thanks for the explanation Jim. I would not have guessed it was a composite! Great effort resulting in a standout, striking image...

Impact is impact. Now, having said that, if it was a landscape with critters or full moon, I'd want to know if was composite. Don't ask me why; it's a complicated reaction I still don't totally understand myself I am now wondering if revealing that this is a composite it makes it any less appealing?

No, it does not. As with film or music appreciation, at first a person notices the technique, often missing the expression. Eventually, or most of us here, as with practiced music listeners or film watchers, the technical aspects add to the pleasure of the work itself. Thanks for letting us in.

A very interesting pose and it’s no surprise that everyone is attracted to it Jim. The fact it’s a composite doesn’t detract at all from its power. I would remove the rather heavy thread of hair from her cheek.

Not at all less appealing.
First, I like it cropped. The chair, dress & shoes add nothing and cause the head to be much smaller. (IMO)
Second, After looking at eyes after eyes, it's nice to see someone's lips. (IMO) The fact that the hat was added doesn't matter at all.
