I didn't see the original, but the cropped canvas looks great to me. Perhaps it is helping with the claustrophobic atmosphere? I definitely prefer the ribbon as a talisman. Thinking of interesting talismans for the characters is so fun.
Initially, I wanted to show the whole room, and Tipp to highlight with light and shadow. But then I realized that this would distract from the main element - the talisman. So I cropped the canvas, making the ribbon the center of the composition (and that definitely helped!) I also love originally made talismans, it's always interesting to see what others have thought of
