Now what

If I'd had the full size image I would have cropped similarly to Reign, but there's so little detail as it is, I didn't want to go any smaller. But here's my take on it:

i went other direction with my crop:

I quite like the balance of this crop - using the vines to frame one side of the image and placing the subject at an intersecting point along the "golden grid".

The main problem for me is there is maybe too much detail in the frame, especially behind the subject, and it makes it feel a little busy. Still, nothing you could do about that, unless you happen to speak bird

I punctuated a few of the vine leaves with extra lightness and saturation to try and accent the framing effect. I think the intensity of a few colours has been lost in trying to keep the file size under 150k too.

Still, my submission

You know? I like yours best of the rest that's been posted so far. It's assuming and elegant.
