Mike:
Maybe it's just me, but the sleeves and the fingers are in visual opposition...the sleeves feel very masculine while the hands are clearly feminine...
In my eye, the hands make the statement and the suit sleeves pull me right off the work by making me question...if the person holding your subject was father or mother. You could certainly justify the suit on either gender, but to me, it made me ask a question.
Not necessarily a bad thing except that it pulled me off the work, but thought I would point it out.
