I was merely stating that your image is quite different from Feiningers' work, despite the superficial similarities (being a solarized female nude). Yours is much more subtle than the harsh, high-contrast line effect of much of Feininger's corpus. It wasn't a criticism; I think your image withstands the comparison very well indeed.
This is the image I had in mind.
Good eye, Leigh. My 8x10 wet plate camera has no swing or tilt. But the front standard is tilting forward, from carrying a heavy brass lens, and the rear tilts backwards because the fold-down extension board extends just a hair too far, so the whole rail hangs down a bit off axis. So I have permanent tilts, front and back.

Thanks John!
