PESO:

This one I don't know about. The shadow of the doorway on the right is very distracting, but if I crop it out, I also crop out Jesus and I like that as a part of the photo. I haven't been able to lighten the shadow convincingly. Forget it or keep trying?

Tina,

IMHO the shadow is not distracting...I think you need to do a strong "4 corner" burn on this image....use dark corners to draw attention to the pensive look, leave the Jesus as is, bring down a lot of the rest of the image...print it as W Eugene Smith would have down in B&W, but leave it color...burn and dodge to bring out the emotion that is in this photo.

I sent you a file off list showing you what I am talking about.
