I'm fairly confident that this would have scored lower than my entry. I'm more interested in what you personally think about it (whomever you might be).

This is my portrait image uncropped. I received many comments that I should have left more in the image. Well, is it really better? Did I cut out too much? Also, I don't have the editing blunder I did with my other image, which was also pointed out.

Here is the challenge entry, and of course when I put it in I did not see the brush strokes, but when a few people pointed them out, I did the brightness adjustment to the max, and saw them. Anyway, without the editing blunder, which image really seems to show better?

Yeah.. you should have left more to the crop..The entry leaves my eyes looking for more and trying to find what the painter is painting..The crop should have been a potrait rather then a landscape..

The entry


The original unedited

outtakes of that photo


Some other photos I didn't choose(all are clean maybe some editing would help)


with the comments I received I didn't choose the right one but, my question is which one would have done the best? Would it be one of the versions of the one I submitted or some different editing altogether? Or would one of the other shots worked better? I'm happy with my score as it is an improvement over my first but there is obviously a whole bunch of room for improvement.

Can't figure out how to post these in here so you click on them and see the big one. All these are in my portfolio under challenge submissions.

Regarding the crop. I think you did the best with what you had to work with. The details below the entry crop line are non-essential and would clutter the image. To include more above the painters head would have to be all or nothing because of the bush. Include more above and then the painter would have a bush growing out of her head. :D

This is a case of getting the framing a little closer to what the final image is going to be at the time of capture. Had you moved in closer, and maybe to the left a step, you could have had grass in the area over the painter's head.

In the end, I think a little more room at the top would've helped this image - but not with the image details as they are in the original.
