Is it my imagination, or do you see it too? In the photo, the far side of the face appears to advance, and the nearer side appears to recede. That's exactly the opposite of what's really happening. Maybe I'm just used to seeing the far side of the face in shadow.

It makes for a different look, but a challenge to overcome. I think it's why the left side of the mouth doesn't seem to recede in the painting. It doesn't recede in the photo either.

What do you think?
