Help me decide on treatment...

BPerron

So I am still trying to figure out what in general people like more when it comes to processing of photos...I have done a couple of different tech. with a photo and would like input...I am only concerned with the treatment of the photo. Let me know what one you like and why and if I should do more of an extreme with the treatment or less of it...etc.

out of camera, no processing what so ever...


1st treatment


2nd treatment


would love to hear thoughts, thanks in advance...

What did you do?
I looked and I really can't see much difference between the three. So I have to ask what you did?

To my eye, what I see not done is the eyes. They are dark and I'd like to see them lightened a bit around the area of her eyes.

The 1st treatment is a "film" filter, slightly more contrast and color...
the 2nd treatment is the film treatment with contrast on the S,M,H...

Yes I know the eyes are dark...did not mess with masks....

i think you underexposed the image to begin with and if you applied the same post workflows to correctly exposed images, the opinions you get will vary.

1 : i actually like this one the best; the saturation is warm, but not too warm
2 : looks like you took a bleach tool to the subjects' faces; looks too artificial
