    Hi John. It looks like Christina's world in some ways indeed Highlights on her back draws my attention when I look at the image. Reducing or cloning them might work fine. And IMO the ring-like thing above her head also needs cloning.

    Something was striking me about this image and I couldn't figure it out until this morning. I find it to be kind of an eerie image - the woman is sitting in the middle of nowhere... and a car with it headlights comes upon her. I do wish there was a better view of her phone, as that also confused me. That being said, I prefer the original version with the highlights.

    I am a not a great fan of Andrew Wyeth's imagery. However, it seems like many of his shots are desaturated to one point or another...

    I was reading the history behind his painting and apparently the art world wasn't ready for his works either, it took decades before his work developed a following.
