A little help on this statue

[landoawd]

Basically, I saw this statue in on a walk in some gardens and liked the emotion it conveyed...however, I feel as though the photo doesn't quite convey the emotion I saw in it. Or does it? I don't know. C+C and editing welcomed. A reshoot is not possible to next year. ;)

Here's my version for you.

I like the depth that added and the emotion is more visible on the woman's face.

Didn't think about this before, but would an un-'watermarked' pic help here?

Here is my try. I tried to warm it up a bit, instead of the cold stone. A LOT has been lost from the version I diod, to uploading here...

Try a warming filter, and see what you think!

WOW! I really need to buy a decent PP book. These are great, folks. The warming filter (didja sharpen more too?)edit is about what I was looking for in this.
