Hi Mike,

I agree that the signature looks dark. You could play on Photoshop to see the impact of other placement, but my guess is that you will be unable to completely erase the signature from where it is. I have the odd feeling that the current signature placement may work better with a square cropping than with the rectangle.

By the way, as compulsive as I am about placing the signature, I am equally compulsive about never doing it before the portrait is placed in its frame or mat.

It's a lovely piece.
