If everything stopped at my response #13, it would have ended there.

Teaching does not necessarily has to involve an online step by step instructions (this is not the place for it) but can be in many other ways including visualization of the outcome to show how the result could looks like, just like when you buy your child illustrated children books to help their imagination grow. Beginners don't have enough imagination yet to visualize what you tell them to do.

I, and I'm sure many other members here do not agree with everything you just said, but this will be the last word...

Any further comments off topic here by anyone will be removed.

They are both really good portraits. Don't like any of the edits yet, though.

EDIT: They are all good attempts, each in their own ways, but none quite there yet, is what I mean.

I like aspects of N8's edit and the original best.

I like this a LOT. I like the crop closer to the feet the best. I personally don't like the loss of the yellow though. I would prefer to keep that but darken the textures on the yellow instead. But nice shot.
