I need some help on this i am really stuck on this.
No one here has taken your course. No one here knows what you have been taught about evaluating the "success of this image."

In addition, whatever I may consider "success" may not be what your teacher or textbook writer is expecting. One of the wonderful things about art is that each person is allowed to interpret and assess each piece of art in his/her own mind.
Two other things ...

1. Note that the question asks which you would NOT do in determining the "success" of the work.

2. Which work is it?

Did you figure it out? I am working on this too! Confusing!
