First, thanks for the suggestions.
Both reposted new images are cropped (stamper's suggestion) and I removed their
purple tint (brantb's suggestion). The original lighting entered
the picture from the right -- the way it was first posted. 32BT suggested inverting
the image so that it enters from the top to emphasizie the vertical. I did this
on the second reposted image.
Further comments are welcomed.

You see how innocent invitations end up effing with your mind?
It's not even my picture, but a nice, pleasant visual experience that made me think of my "Outage" series, and how I'd have used your image (had it been mine - I wouldn't touch anyone else's) to fit within my series. But the chat has messed with
my mind regardless of image ownership!
If there was one thing I'd change about LuLa it's the critique section: I'd bin it. I never came across such a lot of verbal nonsense in my life! Pix are pix, and they either turn you on or pass you by, neither being a definitive judgement since two personalities are unavoidable involved in such an interchange. What value is somebody else's opinion of your art? Nada. If your were in the position where external opinion mattered you'd probably not be posting here because the opinions emanating from here would be irrelevant to your commercial life.
Be yourself:
nobody knows what's good for you better than you do yourself.
