I am sorry for what happened with your work getting taken! That sucks.
I actually thought the tonal interpretation was pretty awesome. I have to be honest and say that sometimes, less is more. I would simplify more on the next one. I love the piece, the composition is very dynamic and the way you have painted it makes it almost luminous. I'd definitely try this on a larger scale canvas, with less variety of colour and detail. Great work!

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
