Hi Greg. Of course there is never one only 'best' version from the
original. My preference is for MaMS2. In each I might like to see a little
more space above the woman's head with in the framing...or not. The
different space in front and behind gives a different mood too. You can
always find a photo 'rule' to support whichever approach you end up liking
;-)
I like the presence and muted colour of the ladder in the last. Just from
my laptop viewing, I might like the lights/whites a bit light/whitier and
maybe a little more of the land element on your right horizon. There's not
really enough to work best for me. You could experiment with more or none
for different 'feels'?

Did I mention that here in Aus I've been outside shooting nudes in the
landscape a couple of days ago. I think it was about 35 Celsius and we all
got sunburnt!



Cheers
Geoff
