Really nice!
I was playing around with this one, and a close crop of just the hands seemed to look good, too. Looks like there is enough resolution and plenty of detail even when more than 1/2 of the image is cropped out.
Another suggestion from the Peanut Gallery... I was playing some more and tried just cropping a very little off of the left side. Basically leaving only a little room to the left of the fingernail of the artist's pinkie.
It seemed to emphasize the very nice element you created by your framing of the artist's head, shoulder, upper arm, and forearm. If you could darken the remaining piece of the customer's sleeve, it might also empasize those compositional elements.
Steve, thanks for the suggestions. I already cropped out 2/3 of the image to arrive at the original version! I don't think it would stand up to further cropping. This was a quick grab shot in very bright light, so LCD visibility was a problem for composition. I didn't want to fuss around too much with my composition at the risk of disturbing the scene. At any rate, your 2nd suggestion was more in line with my original idea anyway. Personally, I prefer the additional leading line from the customer's hand in my original version. I wonder if anyone would jump in here with their opinion?

Hi Warren - I see what you mean - now that you've posted both, I don't think my cropping idea is necessarily better. They both look good, in fact, now I like your originally-posted image better ;-)
