Why without a head?

and in our time is a head obligatory?

I looked at the shoes, left, and then came back again... The heads and their contents are a highly debatable matter - and it's not important, but... I would blur the zp - remove the houses and benches, turning everything into some kind of scary forest, gaping with its emptiness... Plus I would blur the figures a little - giving them dynamics to the left - as if from the wind... Something like that, but it caught my attention, however, otherwise I wouldn't have returned to scribble this conclusion.

Apostol, thank you for everything. I can't even say yet why I thank you most. Probably the most important thing in my thanks is that it's said to you. It's unexpectedly pleasant. I will take everything you said into account, but I won't change anything, not because I'm stubborn or anything like that, it's just that I shoot something so rarely that I don't even want to do anything with it. You know the main rule of a designer: "Don't make a candy out of a piece of shit." Let everything remain imperfect. I couldn't do it the way it should be, so let everything remain as awkward as it is.

"Don't make a candy out of a piece of shit"
I just intuitively saw the potential in the work, and I'm not giving you a recipe for salvation... this is purely my vision, how I understood and implemented the plan, and if this image hadn't popped into my head, perhaps, like many, I would have passed it by...

I didn't manage to do it the way it should have been done
and that's great too! : a) because you understood it, b) because there's incentive to relive and rethink the work, c) because there's no path forward without trial and error—then false steps are just treading water, even with your feet raised high.
