Hi Sue,
Well from where I'm sitting this is an exposure basically by candlelight & 
it's an interesting exposure.

Yes the glasses "could have been adjusted slightly for a full eye rather 
than the cut off." However that might  have interrupted the moment of 
thought and viewing. ERGO? Not such a concentration in the image.

But you know what? In reality, "who cares!" Because it's a fine available 
light photo by a candle, it would've worked along side any number of similar 
images if you were shooting quite a number on a photo essay!!

Do not draw attenton to what you may perceive as a problem in the 
photograph! Let viewers find it themselves and if they do see it as a 
problem? Then OK fess-up and accept the point made. However if the comment 
is merely someone making a small mickey mouse over techie point? Pay it no 
attention simply because you already know there was a tiny little glitch! 
And let them get over it! :-)

cheers,
Dr. ted :-)
