Dear friends!
Interesting to know your opinion:
1)

or

2) less colored and some PP done.

Thank you in advance,

I, myself, think that less colored is better...

    #1 looks like you were fighting with a blue cast in her hair, her skin, the wall, and the "bags" of her eyes.
    I'd like #2 more if you could put the color back into the eyes and red back into the dress.

    I agree with evoryware about the blue cast in the hair and there appears slight green cast on the right upper side of her face. Having that said, I still like #1 better. Even with the color casts it looks more natural than #2 to me.

    I prefer the first.

    The desaturation doesn't do her any favors in the second shot.

    I like #1 better, but I am still running an older copy of firefox, so I am not seeing them color calibrated.

    Have you considered black and white for this picture?

    I like the second photo-- but I'd leave her skin soft like in the first photo.

    #1 for me, I think because of her eyes.

    Take them both!
    Why not desaturate the wall only? Leave her skin tone from #1. I think the desaturation works well to subdue that chip in the wall that steals my eye from hers.
