I am wondering if this picture would be more appealing had I removed the collection of natural debris from her face? Or does it add to the emotion I sought? Or would this be an artist preference? Thanks.

I like the debris but think it would be more effective in black and white due to the monochrome grey of the main subject.

Thanks for your thoughts. I have this file in RAW, I will do a black and white one from it.

Ah, yes. I like this one much better. Tragic and melancholy.

I agree Rileypm, the black and white is better, thanks for the advice!
