I'm having a hard time with this one and so could use some scathing critique :D.

My two attempts. I'm still processing but could use some opinions.

The working title would be 'The Photographic Process'

    #1 for me. I"m not thrilled with the distortion in #2 - the tilt is OK, it's just that your monitor looks a bit off. That board in #2 also gets in the way. At least for me it does. My eye just gets stuck there.

    The horizontal crop in #1 seems to bring the viewer into the scene much better. Your B&W conversion looks terrific. thumb.gif

    Another vote for #1.
    Nice conversion & it draws the viewer into the chaos on the desk.
    IMO #2 distances the viewer from the desk.

    I was more distracted by the old Dell monitor!:D
    Sorry!

    Th top shot is good. I actually like the 2nd a bit more, the tilt, I think works her in creating further tension.
