Digital Workflow - Warhol

So distressed by the grade I received on my Warhol assignment, a B-.  I was so sure I had nailed it.  

                           PROJECT ASSIGNMENT
                           Your partner of choice has the need for a strong, graphic
                            image for their "Bio" type application.  Image should
                            have some mysterious, abstract, artistic theme.

                           Using a gray card in first image, capture images to card,
                           download to catalog in our normal workflow fashion,
                           applying corrections to the first image, and then syncing
                           to all the others.  As part of the process, create a preset,
                           which changes the image to the Warhol look.

                           I will be checking your workflow for all the components
                           (keywords, copyright file structure etc.  Complete as
                           much as possible in class today.  Submit final image,
                           before and after (on one page) in the public Drive, by
                           2 p.m. Friday.  Strength and character of image is the
                           essence of this project.


              Here is the original I captured.  Like all women over the age of 5 -
                  I needed to smooth and even out the color in Nicole's skin.  

                            
                            Here is the image after I worked on Nicole's skin and 
                                      brightened her eyes a bit.

I added a vignette and "Voila"  I thought I had a great artistic, Warhol look.  


                Instructor's comments to class:  Images appear to be grab images 
                without out much thought to composition or background 
                distractions.  


                Instructor's written comments to me: Apply effects beyond color.  


     I don't think his first comments apply to me, but so often the instructor 
     has one image in his head and I have another in mine.  He encourages 
     us to talk with him or email him to clarify instructions  - I may have 
     been closer to the mark if I had discussed my original idea with him.  
     This is one assignment  I should redo - it seems simple enough to 
      include additional effects.
