Hmmm. A long lens that compressed the scene more and threw the
foreground out of focus might have succeeded here. You'll never get
exactly what you saw standing there, because the human eye adjusts for
highlights and shadows. You could get closer using the highlight/shadow
tool in PS CS. I would also rotate the canvas about 1 or 2 degrees
counterclockwise to straighten out the vertical in the middle of the
pic.

Somehow, it just lacks the impact I felt while standing there. I tried
so hard to get the contrast between this large face, and the people
inside.... Finally, just the other day, my wife saw the photo, and
said... "The face is too small. You need to crop it."

Definitely an improvement, but still I feel I missed an excellent
opportunity. I don't know what I may have done wrong, or maybe, this
just wasn't meant to be. When you mentioned "worrying" an image to
death, Ann, I couldn't help but think of this...
Any advice? comments? Complaints? ;-) TIA

The crop is better. But I think you cropped it a tad too tight. Now it
sort
of looks chopped off on the bottom.
Maybe if you had laid down on the floor? :-)
