Lovely portrait with very genuine smile. It could've easily been a ribbon but what brought the score down a bit, I think, is that her heir is completely submerged in the black background, not a hint of separation. Just a little bit of light on the background or a rim light on her hair (for example, something white on the left reflecting the light back on her) would've made a big difference

Smart!

I agree with Wendy – your outtake is funnier and better technically, although this one is certainly an order of magnitude harder/luckier to capture. I wonder if you could improve it in post-processing by making the background less dark, your crow would stand out much better.

No, this is my mom on her balcony! It was a last minute phone snap which I tried to improve by impressionistic processing. Didn't have a mojo for a proper portrait. I think the processing suits this photo, but of course it is not to everyone's liking.
