Ok, yes I understand that Mac, but removing your personal reason for making the image for a moment, you have captured a sense of something I have always felt, a shyness, perhaps just typically English, I don't know, but you have said it out loud, brave.

I see a very strong image that connects deeper than I expect you imagined and will connect to many more people. The other image is much more personal, more a window to you, this however is anonymous, it's everyone, a spokesphoto.
