Professional Vs Amatuer. Which retouch you choose?

As a rank amateur, I would junk the whole photo and re-shoot it as there doesn't seem to be any way of removing that large bare arm drawing your eye away from the faces which should be the whole point of the photograph...

It is what the client wants out of the shoot, along with good advice from the photographer. Its difficult to critique without knowing exactly what is expected from the shoot.
As I feel they all are good for one thing or another. depends on what its to be used for, and the style that the band appreciates.
