My thanks to Roberto and Doug for reminding me that the visual vocabularies of a photograph (light and form) must be cemented first before a photographer asks an image to serve also as a conversation about an idea or set of ideas. I believe they are correct: I got ahead of myself and let an idea overwhelm the visual grounding of the image. I greatly appreciate the feedback.
Nice juxtaposition- "troupe l'oeil" if you hadn't given the explanation. My real comment is that I would like to see the image without such a post-heavy handed contrast look to it. It is too crunchy and illustration looking for my taste.

This is strange as it's one of my least favorite of your images but also one of the most intriguing and visually curious... So thanks.
