I also preferred the last image except for the brightest background
areas surrounding her head. I think they draw attention away from her
face. I think cloning out the bright yellow flowers and suppressing the
brightness of the brightest tan grass seed heads at left would make a
big difference to the image. But I do see what Ken refers as a "3D" effect.
