I disagree, I don’t like to central composition as it is not central but is at the bottom of the frame.

But more so the picture is dull and needs white balancing and colour enhancing. This will make the photo pop. I have done a quick example of what I mean, very quickly as my laptop can’t handle proper editing, and I used free software GIMP. All i did was whitebalance and slight enhance colours, it’s not perfect buti prefer the results of some post processing.

I agree the other one looked overcooked, but i knew that some editing could give a better result. I used pxn8.com which is an awesome online editing tool very handy for on the roadold slow laptop people like me right now.
Hopefully makes my point better.

I value your opinon, However I like it. I know you did it fast, but now the colors look neon like. While the face pops the rest is shaded in darkness. You most likely are more experianced than I, But I like the origional better. Putting them side by side it does look white washed a bit. I also some what agree about the centering however it is sometime o.k. to center as long as it is frames.

Words of encouragement and hope for us all.
Good job both.
