Question...here's the original; any suggestions on different post-processing takes? I tried to tone down the leaves on the left. Considered cropping them out, but then I felt like some context of the shot was lost. ???
I like your entry better than the outtake. It's more fun and engaging. The outtake feels overly contrived and clicheish. Entry got a 7 from me, the outtake would have been probably a 5.
Not outtake, but a recently posted picture I think is related to the peek a boo challenge by Niki Conolly - a photographer I admire on pbase, from Nashville,
Thanks so much for the comments everyone!!! Heres an outtake.
I wanted to add this is my 10 year old son, all the comments about the woman, he even said, who's that in the picture, I thought it was I.....I laughed and said you look just like my sisiter April, :)

Just to show there are always two sides :- )
I really like the clean, simple lines of the outake and would definately have scored it higher than the actual entry.

Thanks for the thoughts - they are so different, I was struggling which to enter and my wife cast the deciding vote:)

Well, chalk up another win for a clean simple "eyecandy-ish" type shot. Par for the course I guess. :)

Not sure where you are coming from on this - you appear to be saying that your view is correct and ours is wrong ?
aguapreta asked for views on two very different shots, and two different views were given - surely this shows how hard it is to enter simple formulaic shot's and guarantee success ?

Actually, three views were given (besides the photographer himself) - one liked the entry (that was me), and two liked the outtake (you and Moose408).
I made the observation that the simple "eyecandy-ish" photo was in the lead (2 to 1) over the more detailed shot. No right or wrong...just an observation.
