Opinions on Treatments Please

Bilsen

This is Vanessa, my newest model. I'll be posting from this shoot later in the week (I know you can't wait LOL) but I'd like peoples' reactions to three different treatments of the same headshot.:scratch

So do you prefer # 1, 2, 3, or hate them all??

ALL natural light. Didn't even take the flash out of the bag all day.

#2 is my favorite. #3 a runner up.

Number 2 is the best. Three does nothing for me so that means one is second best.

I like 1 best and then 2 - not really digging the sepia for this shot.

1 then 2. I agree 3 does nothing for me.

Hands down, 2.

Number 1 ftw. This is maybe my favorite of all the portraits you have posted.

This is a beautiful color image. The colors are complimentary of each other and a beautiful model.
The black and white is nice but does not have the impact of the color....and I am a great black and white fan.
The sepia is nice but it is a bit to much grain (have you tried it with a texture instead?) and the chest is a little hot (exposure wise).

Thanks all.

Funny, except for # 3 (which nobody likes) it's pretty even between color and B&W.

Thanks Zoomer. Considering where you and I started that is high praise indeed. Of course, I just posted a new Vanessa set that will ruin everything.
