A "good" conundrum

Okay, so I have done some cutting, and trimming, and experimenting; and have identified the beginning of what I think is a good composition. I think these colors work very well together, and I love the dimensionality of the sketches. But I find myself at a "fork in the road" at this point. I think that inclusion of the guy's muscle portrait works well. But I also like the elements without the portrait -- and perhaps it creates even stronger dimensionality. If I don't include the head, I might place some colorful orbs within the "tentacles" of the blue field. I certainly will play with that. On the other hand, the head element is so powerful (and I don't have another one... and I don't do photocopying) and fits well with the strength of the other elements. What to do? A real conundrum. A good conundrum, to be sure. But I am feeling rather "stuck". I'm heading out of town for a week-long golf trip to Maine; so I will be away from my studio for a bit. Maybe when I get back, I will feel less torn (... then again, probably not ;-)
