It is extremely rare for me to make different edits or versions of an image. I am pretty decisive with my work. I also like to be efficient with my time, and I find it wasteful to create alternates if I am only going to use one of them. I thought I would share this time, because well... I don't know if or when it would happen again.
Here is the original image...actually I think I used it as a behind the scenes in my last post

We were in a garden area beside a parking lot. It wasn't anywhere particularly special.
My first edit is this one.
The reasons I decided to go back and edit it again are firstly because I did not like the white light I put behind her. I felt like it wasn't soft enough for the image. Secondly I have done the standing-on-a-rock-in-the-water thing a lot recently so I wanted to get rid of the whole water idea altogether.
Here is my second edit.
What do you guys think? Did I make the right call by editing it again? Or was the first one better in your opinion?
