Eyes are of course very good. There are some GIMP tricks you might have used to make the picture seem deeper and not quite as flat, but the idea is compelling and the overall composition is very dramatic.

The trick I had in mind is to increase the sense of ambienet occlusion where the pad is on the face and where the hands are holding the pad. What you do is take the brush tool and set it to "darken" instead of "normal" You set the color to black (which I think it is by default) and the per cent change to about 3-5%. Then paint along the edge of the pad and the hand holding it, darkening the area which gives the sense of a shadow at the occlusion point between the object and face and hand and object. If you are having trouble visualizing what I mean, perhaps I can send you a before and after example and/or a screen cap of what I mean.

No, I think I understand. When I have time I will have to go back and take one of the pics and tinker with it.
