Happy Easter Carolyn, and thanks for the early morning puzzle.

If I were given the above photos I would select the following. I would first resolve the left arm issue by dropping it by his side. I would then set out to eliminate the background distractions and attempt to bring him forward.

I think it could be nice to have some of the distant buildings and other compositional elements worked into the background, but it would take much more thought and manipulation from what you have here.

If you utilized a 24x18 canvas you would have a head size of approx. 5.6 inches (I don't know what that is in Europa measurements). You might be better served going to a 28-30 inch canvas.

The second is just a simplified cropped version.
