Which one?

Family photo of my sister and her family. I'm not proud of this photo....but it was like pulling teeth to get them to do a portrait. She is very non-traditional. She wanted one of them on their couch, with their cat. I'm gonna print one for her for christmas and am having trouble with PP. Which one looks better?

I'm not on a calibrated monitor right now, so I can't say for sure, but the bottom one seems slightly more natural, however it does need to be leveled/squared rather badly.

If I had to pick one, it would be the bottom one, but both have a lot of noise.

I would go somewhere between the two. Keep the warmth, lose a little of the fill.

Second shot...has more "SNAP!" to it. Cute family! I LIKE GRAY CATS!! They are almost always lovey-dovey, gentle cats with good attitudes.

Render it bw and call it good.

Yup.

I'll have to check it out in B&W. Thanks for the tip
