Showed the last picture and here is the feedback I got.
All liked the picture very much, but the white part at the top and bottom of the picture stops them from converting it to a siggie tag. Now, I don't really understand those programs, but if they cut the white off.. there goes you copyright and the girl's foot. They can't leave it on, because their program picks up the colored parts of the picture and takes off the white.
Can you extend the sky to all parts of white. It's fine for the copyright to be in the picture. If an artist used a canvas it would be in the picture.
Also the birds wing looks as if it were chopped off at the top. Like the picture was cropped. That was also something, that was mentioned to me.
I played around with the picture and I added the gates/curtain to see if the white could be disguised. Here's what I came up with. Showing it to you so you can see what they are up against.
Personally like this picture the best. I like the theme and the female is perfectly proportioned.
