It's quite interesting, how you used the warp tool: it gives a feeling that is both oniric and unsettling.

That's exactly what I intended! Thank you for looking at the picture. I sometimes wonder if a picture is too banal if it does not elicit a reaction--good, bad, or indifferent.

Well, I think your photos are never banal, both because of their "photographic qualities" and because of the strong feeling of meaning they convey.
It's quite hard to look one of your photos and wonder whether they means something of not: they always scream meaning. :D
Maybe not a plain one, but they scream.
On this specific shot, many with the same intention would have gone much further that you with the wrap tools.
You, instead, used it in a "Monnalisa smile" way: just an hint but a not ignorable one.

You mean that wasn't a straight photo -- just like all of your others, Bob? :D
I think Diego has said it just right. You never just show us a pretty picture.

Were you smoking anything when you made that shot, Bob?

I gave up tobacco and funny tobacco many decades ago. However, in my late teens, funny tobacco did factor into some of my pictures.
