       • I will count on your support in the future

2. I was on the side that chose that one.

   • I might flip the piece and start again

3. Gotta go with “this one”. Her uniform is custom made I see

   • she definitely can’t wear one size fits all

4. I like the first one the best. 80% agrees

   • The other one was getting all the love in the original post and then this poll smashed it…

5. I get a better picture to the left, where you can see the whole face. I like her clothes.

   • If you’ve ever seen propaganda art, there is usually a majestic skyline to indicate a better tomorrow is just over the horizon…

     • I tend to look down and avoid tomorrow!

       • yeah, what’s on the horizon is usually fascism and oppression…

         • I hope not, it is possible but I do still hold out a single candle.

7. The one of the left since I can see her face.

   • note the rimlight and core shadow

     • Okay I see where you are coming from now with these images.

       1

       • I am always going there

         • I see your viewpoint now.

8. The right side one, even thought I not really like both.

   • I also had a tough time, that’s why I am asking you

9. I rather like the girl without her hair flying around. I find that the waving hair distracts my attention. Very nice rendering of a salute with subtle neutral colors. But one question: I thought salutes were to be done with the right hand or it is because I am cross-eyed? Forgive my ignorance…

   • I don’t know much about military tradition, I just have a uniform fetish…

     • Well it is a nice, curvatious uniform that fits well.

       1

       • I looked into left hand salutes, and it seems like you can only do them if your right hand is incapacitated and it doesn’t look like hers is…

         of course, I could always flip the piece

         1

         • Yes, I looked it up too. It is up to you to decide if you want to flip that lovely lady around….

10. I chose “that one” I love the shadow and the hair.

    1

    • they’re both compelling, but the cost is I can’t have the facial lighting of “this one”

      1

      • ohh okay, when the hair is moving it appears to be more natural

        1

        • both naturalistic and dynamic, so if I go the other way the hair is bland but if I go this way the lighting is bland

          opportunity costs…
