Which is better version A or B? Version B has blown out highlights, but the statue is nicely lit

and the sun gives the image some impact. What do you think? Thanks for your feedback.

B is better to my eye.

B. True, A avoids the blow out but at the cost of all interest.

Version A is definitely more appealing at least to me. The bronze replica statue ought to look like aged bronze with a few specular highlights,so A is better I say. Diana the huntress shold e seen in these kind of Greco Roman surroundings, so it is fine to show the background as properly exposed. Of course, the lower figure,the hunting hound is almost indistinguishable. I am sure you can correct that by carefull fine tuning.You want the hound to be separated from Diana. So would the Greeks I suppose. Not a bad shot at all.Lucky to get no people around at the Huntington,. gs

I prefer A, has details in most of the area. For the statue, could do a correction to reduce the shadow.
