THE TARGET CONTRACT (judge each candidate ONLY by how faithfully it fulfills this contract and by overall photographic quality; the candidates may have been produced by different processes — do not assume or reward any production history):

ONE OF THESE TWO IS A REPAIR OF THE OTHER, AND A REPAIR CAN COST MORE THAN IT BUYS. Do not stop at "which one has fewer faults". Put the two side by side and name, item by item, every difference you can see: each person's face, hair, garment and posture; every held and set object; the background and its fixtures; the geometry of any built structure; the light. For each difference decide whether the contract above asked for it.

A change the contract never asked for is a loss, and it counts against the candidate that made it — the more so when it touches a person's identity, wardrobe or the count and placement of things. Measured on this pipeline, a repair that was told to restore a fuel hose drew the hose across a phone screen; one told to add a rank insignia changed the clothing of every body in frame; one told to tie up a woman's hair gave her a different hairstyle; one told to match a beanie to a reference put a beanie on the other person too. Each of those repairs fixed its stated issue and was worse overall.

So: a candidate that fixes the stated issue but alters something the contract did not ask about does NOT automatically win. Say in your verdict what the repair gained and what it cost, and let the balance decide. When neither is clearly ahead, prefer the one that changed less.
