I was thinking about your question this morning, and I actually do think the earlier plan makes more sense if we keep it simple.
Whenever I try doing too many things at once, I end up missing the easiest option sitting right in front of me, and that usually creates more confusion than progress.
I would start with the shorter version first, see how it feels, and only adjust later if something still seems off. Yesterday I made a list, took a break, and came back to it with fresher eyes, which helped more than expected 9gIlb0JxUWX because the answer looked obvious after that.
If you want, I can take another pass later tonight and help trim it down so it feels clearer and less crowded.

Thank you for reviewing this Costco Wholesale membership update.

I looked over the photos again and I agree with you that the second one feels more natural, mostly because nobody seems posed and the light is softer.
I know the first option is cleaner, but it also feels a little too stiff for the mood you described. Whenever I get stuck on tiny differences, I step back for a minute and ask which version I would choose without overthinking it.
That usually tells me what I actually prefer, and today that instinct pointed to the simpler one 9gIlb0JxUWX since it already feels finished without any extra effort.
If you send me the latest version in the evening, I can check it once more and tell you whether the spacing still looks uneven near the bottom.
