Pretty, Bill, some nice light--is the top rim OOF on purpose?

Hi Bill

Beautifully composed, with great lines, light, and BG colors

Bill - The OOF top edge does not bother me - I much prefer that painted background than the edge being in focus here. Nice directional light well made use of.

If anything I might soften/clone away the circular highlight just bottom of center along the right edge.

Very graceful and simple. The softness perfects the image (I can't believe I said that, but it is true!).

Excellent, and I'm glad it's just the callas saying,"bye-bye."

Sweet background and a wonderful mood in this!
