Compositional Changes: Sketch for "Self-Portrait as a Centaur"

I had a hunch this was the right move, but wanted some affirmation before making the change, so I asked some of my friends on facebook, twitter, and google plus.  Ah...it certainly feels better this way.  I'm also using a bit of a value change in the horse's body to push the back of the horse behind and relieve the front of the body forward.  Thanks friends.  I will sign all of your names somewhere on the back for your help.
