Which of the following post processing to you like best, and why?

And general critique would be great too!

#1:

#2:

#3:

I like the color in #1. She has nice eyes and I don't think the other two show that.

I voted for #1.

Among the B&W, I'd vote for #3.

I like #1 best. #2 is too dark and I just prefer the color in this one over the black and white.

Number one for sure... not sure on the b&ws?!... but # 3 over #2 xx

Thanks all, I was leaning towards #1 also.

Alison · May 13, 2006

I vote for #1 as well and of the black and whites I prefer #3.

I like the colour version best, her skin tones are nice there, and her eyes are extra special and I like the pink bow going with the little-girl-pink of her t-shirt. All that gets lost in the b+w.
The first of the two b+w versions is too dark, too contrasted, and all in all too hard for a child this small, soft, sweet, little, cute.
Of the two b+w versions I therefore like the last a lot better than the first.

Nice capture. I'd say #1. I'd also crop a bit off the top and the right. There's a bit of plastic there that doesn't add anything to the image. Her face also looks a little too much like the plastic for my taste; a little too smooth and pale. Being pale probably wouldn't be a problem with a different surrounding.

I love the B&W here... I voted for #3 :thumbup:

Thanks everyone!

Nice to see you posting again Mark.
