Thanks for your comments Joe, I appreciate getting them. I tried making the photo brighter and tighter and it does have a different and better effect. Thanks for your help. Cheers, Anita
As a CC, I would say that I'm not sure you need so much on the left and right, and might crop more to center-top. It's dark, as well. But I think some cropping might help, to take away from the horizontal presentation and suggest more a vertical thirds.
