Really interesting light and lots of potential…

…but he's a bit too close to the edge of the frame; I keep looking from him across the gap to the main centre of attention (book pile, then row of tables receding into the background). I think it would be better if he were looking into the camera; as shown, I want to turn my head to see what he's looking at.

…also, there's something funny happening at the edge of the wall; almost like CA (perhaps that's what it actually is, in colour it would be purple fringing…) There's also something odd on the corners of the canopies???? All the lighter area seems weird; what processing was done on this one? (in PS "find edges"?, well you certainly found them…)

cant' argue with that but at the same it does have your Painterly effect, I think

Thanks, guys. I don't think it's CA. I did process this one quite a bit, mainly to restore detail in the bright area, which was overexposed. It's probably a result of using high-pass sharpening in vivid light blending mode. It shouldn't be hard to back it off a bit.
