Karin, I very much like the overall warmth you've brought into the background -- the column, trees, and sky -- compared to the earlier posted image, in which the blue/gray coolness was a quality that I found somewhat difficult to reconcile with the beautiful figures, even in compositional contrast. You've eased a lot of the edgework, too, and I think the overall effect of the modifications is as stunningly effective and lovely as the original was amazing in itself.
