We can see what Philippe set out to do with the photograph and I think it does accomplish that. I like the relationship of the four heads' positions. The hand at bottom left has been mentioned, but I think that, since it happened, Philippe has certainly left it there for a reason. It would have been trivial to remove. Since it has entered the frame, it can be seen as inferring another person passing by in the gallery without looking. Of course, it is all to tell a story implying that the painting is underappreciated. I have no doubt that you could convey the opposite by choosing when to press the shutter button. The magic of photographic storytelling!
