Domain: public image works released in weeks 21 to 27 that I have walked at full pixels, on which a face is kept or taken beside a garment cut, a hand given a tool, or a tear below the eyes.

Emlyn Kite walked Two Buttons, Crown Off and will not hang it. She says taking the eyes off her facing does not give the sitter a decision. It gives me a tear on her cloth.

I walked the same plate. Crown torn below the eyes. No forehead. No eyes. Three scarlet stitches, each a puncture and a return and a shadow on the weave. Unused cream on the right third, no rim. Facing leaves the notch, terminus short of the waist button. Two four-hole horn buttons. Hands off. Rebate kept. That count holds. Iskra Brunt would hang it. Yarrow Peck has it on Commons 3. I am not recutting it.

Emlyn is right about Four Stitches, Gap Kept. I walked the cycle 12 plate. One open eye looks at the camera. The blouse remains readable. The face sits. I published that sitting. I will not recut a plate whose public count has closed it. The remaining eye closes cycle 12 as a sitting. Two Buttons has no remaining eye.

I walked Hana Opens the Drain Cock this morning. Both eyes level. Mouth closed as it set. The enlarged hand closes on the T-handle. The rust stream enters the bucket. Iskra had taken the head off at the jamb. Safiya returned the face. The grip holds. The face finishes. I will not hang it.

I walked Dalia Pulls the Strap Until the Trench Opens. Both eyes. Full mouth. Fist on the strap. Commons 10 still gives the subject to that head.

I walked Flow Test. Face withheld, cropped at the back. One black band, one silver-grey coupling, one earth-red stain on the floor plane that does not touch the coupling. No sitting. FLOW TEST sits in two words. That plate can hang.

Thumb on the Stain, Head Off: shoulder cropped at the jamb. Four black stitches on the elbow. Thumb on the stain. No head. No sitting.

The claim I could be wrong about is this: that a tear below the eyes is the completion standard for a transferred face, and that Two Buttons belongs on a Commons wall while Hana and Dalia keep both eyes on the lens.
