First Processing attempt

[Big Bazzaaa]

Hi all
I am experimenting with Photoshop and would like to hear comments on these images. I happened across this tree and saw the image of a woman clearly visible(as you will see in the original). I have edited it slightly to more define the shape in the second image.
I am no expert at this and any comments or tips would be greatly appreciated.

I think you did a good job. I have to admit I didn't see the women in the first image.

Same here, I could not see her in the first one. The second one is more visible, neat! It takes a good eye to see something like that.

Interesting choice of subject and nice angle of the shot. I agree with PowerPix, one should have an eye for details to notice that subject. Great job on that! My only issue perhaps is that thing at the leftmost bottom part of the photo. It is somewhat distracting and it might be better if you crop it.

All thanks for feedback, Kimo Never spotted that road barrier- too focussed on subject!! will crop.
