Which do you prefer for interest?
Or should I eliminate the bottom stripes altogether? I realize that may send a purer message, but wonder if it loses some interest.

I think I like the second best. More for the brightness than anything. But if you have the stripes, the longer ones seem best to me. The cropped version is in shadow for most of it, making the stripes less distinct. The same shadows have almost no impact in the second.

Looks like a tough angle to shoot at.

Here's an extreme (3x @ max) vertical correction applied.

I quite like the first version.

I find the stripes distracting. They draw my eye away from the gargoyle. I don't think you need perspective correction either... we always look up at gargoyles. I the like the lines, shapes of tears, etc. I wish the eyes were a bit brighter, but I bet that's hard to do.

Cool shot, Scott!

I played around with it some (if you don't mind) and went with a more traditional crop as well as some burning/dodging and slight sharpening - hopefully it isn't too boring.

Also, with all my reworks it might be a bit sloppy.

Cheers,

Jeff

Thanks, folks.
Reading the feedback, reviewing the image, I agree the more visible vertical stripes do more to compete than help the image. #1 it is!
Thanks for the rework illustrations!
