1. 2. I'm trying to figure out whether a little processing makes a difference. Happy Easter! Fernando ...
A bit more clarification....

The second pic looks more natural....especially her black top which in the first pic looks 'odd' and I find distracting. Andy.
Yes it does!

I'm not sure which one was post processed but I'm guessing it's the first one. The first looks more 'professional' -- more vibrant, punchy, and contrasty. The second one, though less exciting or attention grabbing, has a nice natural feel. My guess is tha...
My thoughts as well and you aptly describe each convincingly.

Yes the first had some PP from a Jpeg shot. The second is pretty much SOOC which is normally good enough for me with my Fuji camera. However, I decided to tweak it further in LR to see if I could improve it. I made it more dramatic with finer details but ...

The lady stands out more from the rest. Aris
Clearly #1 for me...

Crispier, colors more contrasted... There is much more life in it vs the 2nd one specially when you put the 2 pics side by side. Best, Mike
first for me too

I like the natural look, with the shadows in play..

For me the first image has more natural flesh tones. In person she may look more like number two (or not), but in the first one she seems to have a healthy glow. I also like the more vivid (by degrees) background... The 'down-side', if I could call it tha...

my guess she looks closer to #2
You are right.
By: fernando : April 16th, 2017-05:53
No. 2 is closer to her actual skin tone. The photo was taken with the 35/F2 Fuji lens with Classic chrome simulation ( not my favourite portrait lens though). I made the background in #1 more defined and vivid and assigned her a slightly healthier skin to...
2nd photo

.. better colour balance. 1st is a little 'over cooked'? Just my eyes. /W72
I'm personally not in favour ...
By: fernando : April 16th, 2017-06:02
of too much PP and it is becoming very prevalent in most of the professional portraiture that I see. However, they have to satisfy their client and this is what they want. I can understand your preference for No.2 but ''over cooked' might be too strong a ...
First one for me! Probably the second
By: julio3 : April 18th, 2017-06:17
one has color more accurate, but the first one has more character and the figure is better separate from the background, and you want that in this kind of portrait.
Did you get permission...
By: watercolors : April 18th, 2017-12:47
Fernando, my intuition tells me she would not be thrilled, but I may be wrong? Cheers Edward
