A Portrait, Under Observation

Merida, Yucatan.  Leica M, 50mm Summilux.

The Portraitist

 

UPDATE: A faithful Tulip Frenzy reader, and excellent photographer, Chap Jackson, emailed to say he thought the headless person at the left of the above photograph kind of messed it up.  So after careful consideration, we decided to try it his way.

Portraitist Revised

 

Because of the new dimensions, some havoc was played with the lighting, especially that really bright light just above the painter’s head.  But we messed around a bit, and got something we like.

What do you think? Which is the better approach?
