Second one for me Tejal Bending posture is more noticeable in #2 . I think the highlights on the face needs reducing a bit .

Both are a bit tight to the frame edges but possibly you had to exclude something.

The highlights are fractionally brighter in the second image. Is that a little too much in places?

Not really sure about the camera angle which seems somewhat unnatural to me. But without seeing a much wider shot I can't really comment on what else might have been possible. Focus is sharp and plenty of depth with it.

thanks Binnur for your input. I have tried to reduce the highlights as suggested by you, which is as below.

Thanks for your inputs. Actually some other sculptures were there also there on sides. I have tried to avoid those. Here is the SOOC shot.

Recuded highlights looks good in your edit Tejal, but I have to tell you that your SOOC is a good image and I wouldn't crop it so tightly if it was mine. I would crop some from both sides but I would leave the whole statue in the frame

I Agree with you, Binnur....here is the revised one :

This one looks nice too , I think I would keep both versions if the image was mine. IMO you need to open the shadows in this version a bit because you lost some details which are visible on the cropped B&W version( post #4)

PS. The crop looks a bit tight at the bottom , I can see in the original that you have some more space at the bottom. Adding it to the image might help.

Thanks Binnur for pointing out such an important things. I will again try to make it better considering your inputs
