Your Opinions Please

Can't decide which way to go with this set as far as PP. I could really use some opinions from you guys. Below are three versions of the same photo. Could you tell me which you prefer:

Very Dreamy:

Less Dreamy:

Least Dreamy:

I think I need to tone down the highlights on the dress near her right knee in the first two but I think they work for the sake of getting some feedback.

Thanks in advance.

I like the Very Dreamy one. Fits in well with the subject.

#1. My only nit was those highlights which you've already spotted. Otherwise, it's great! SHe's a little doll, isn't she? You're lucky to have a cooperative model at your fingertips!

1 for me, cute shot.

I'd say #1 too, it's just so vibrant, like the lovely subject!

I was going to say #2 but #1 is nice too.

#1 all the way I say....
Fantastic work on the lighting...

I like how you kept her eyes crisp even with the effect on #1

Bravo!

Thanks Nik and to everyone else that chimed in. I too liked #1 the most but I'm trying to "Just Say No" to over-processing. Try to learn that fine line between not enough and too much PP.

Working on the rest of the set now. Will post more as soon as I'm done.
