This is a beautiful take on a classic subject. The textures and detail are delightful.

I want to get lost in the intricate textures and colors, and mostly do, but the strong light in the upper left pulls my eyes away. Were I to play with it, I'd try darkening that area or maybe cloning something.

Same problem... the bright area is very distracting. The image would be gorgeous without it…
