Illuminating the Way

Just found this little Geisha in a japanese garden in Leverkusen.

Although the background is busy, it does contain both complementary and contrasting colours that are quite interesting. Usually a subject like this would need a sharpness, colour tone, or contrast difference to make the subject stand out more clearly from the background. This image seems to be able to stand on its own but I would suggest toning down the bright area in the upper left a bit. Hope this helps!

I also like this image. The various shades of foliage really add to it.
However, either toning down the bright area, cropping part of it out and or cloning it out might add to the image...

Thanks for your suggestions, Guys.
I am still trying and experimentalizing how I get the pics I have in mind ... :-)
