Hello ! I've been trying some different retouches and I would like to know which one you preffer and why.

I like the first by far the best. The textures, shadows and highlights really come through nicely. To me, the other 2 look too flat, nothing pops. They aren't as interesting to look at as the first.

agreed, first pic hands down! colors are vibrant and model really stands out...nice work!

First is the best. =)

Nice textures. Did you bring out all those details on the wall just by dodging and burning?

I've updated the links ... :) hope they look better now. What do u think ?

Now, second looks best. I like what you've done with colors, pretty nice and warm approach.

How long did you take to retouch every image?

Thank you.

I must say I like leaving my messenger open and talk , then come back and retouch, so my eyes won't get used too much with the image. Getting used to the image can make u not see obvious things like too strong colors, or spots... I guess it takes around 3 hours ( with the talks included, and checking my DA messages and all :D )

I still prefer the first one. The second one, has a yellow/orange cast, which I dont find appropriate on the particular photo. The third one is good but no better than the first one.

I like the 3rd one, the first one is vibrant and i was wowed by it but i think the background overwhelms the model, the whole image just pops, when main highlights to me should pop out. the second one is just blah no opinion on it, just flat. But the third one is just right background doesn't overwhelm and model brings in the attention.

I prefer the second, even though grungy-like it has wonderful warm colors
