What seems to be missing here
is
what do you want this photograph to look like.

This is the classic AA quote,
"the negative [positive in this case] is the score."
"the print is the performance."

You're asking us to tell you how to play your score.

It could be interesting to give the "score" to all of us.
and let us play it our way.
