If you're already deep into progress, forget I mentioned green, it's Not 1mportant.
What I appreciate most about my avatar, other than the obvious—my wife and my initials, is the heart. It's so powerful in the image yet hardly noticeable until you concentrate on it. The whole aura of the subject in the image, the double helix and its entirety, everything's glowing cuz of it.
I appreciate that. At this point, we'll just see how it shakes out. I definitely want to put out one version that honors the original to the greatest extent possible though, and this actually helps...if I can get my hands to reproduce the image forming in my mind anyway...
