Overall, the solution is okay. The composition, which is connected to the bottom, is cramped. The main idea and tenderness of the frame will be lost. I appreciate only the emotion and the primal feeling... the legs are not well thought out. Well, considering the overweight and the beginning notes of the author, his desire to improve, I say - respect!
ps
I tried that, but it didn't work.
That's how the vignetting manifested itself. The hands are, like, in shadow. )))
So maybe it would have been better to correct the color of the hands instead of cropping?
I was also really looking at the black and white version.
How about the black and white version? Is it viable? Or does it lose the jungle-like effect?
And there's no bluish tint in those shadows. Your Monique is a piece of cake!
Personally, I wasn't aiming for naturalness here. Wow!
