Girl on the Amazon

[Cheryl H]

Bill: Thanks for sharing a great image for us to work with.

I've enjoyed looking at all the different things everyone has done and am glad I don't have to pick a favorite. It's fun to see such a variety of good interpretations. I came up with two attempts.

Here's one.

Cheryl, your first rendition was so striking - although it strengthened the background, it still focused on the girl's "wise beyond her years" expression. It made me want to limit the focus to her face alone.
