After.

I liked the higher contrast and skin tones in the first one, but I like how the background in the second one is a little less distracting. Take the first one, de-saturate the greens, and call it good, unless you're going for that low-contrast style? Might look good in B&W, or selective B&W as well

Not a fan of this processing.

To me, the unretouched one looks better.
The second just looks faded.

Yeah, like the first better. The wall is a bit of a distraction so I do like the idea of combining the two as suggested above. But if I'm picking one or the other, the first is better.

Same as Joe here. Before version is better.

Prefer the original but would take out about half of the wall on the left and fix the blemish on his upper lip. Perhaps even a vertical instead of horizontal layout??
