x10 portrait

I like the 1st one.

I prefer #1 and don't mind at all that you've interpreted the scene. I think the treatment (to me a vintage film look) complements the subject/wardrobe.

The craft includes work before and after shutter release ... always has, always will.

I like the first one very much.

I had planned on not posting additional replies in this thread, but since you mentioned my name, I'll say that unlike what Brooks found, when I checked enlarged crops of the cheek from both photos (as I said, that area was basically the only part of the frame that I was talking about), I found that the blue content was slightly, but consistently higher in the processed photo. But if that wasn't the case it still wouldn't have mattered because nobody that I'm aware of disagreed (and some agreed) with my comment that the skin in the processed image was PALE , and IIRC, even Brooks admitted that the skin in the unprocessed photo had a coloration that he described as "pink". I guess that he didn't want to go so far as to call it "red", although to be fair he would have called the blue in the processed photo "pastel blue", since pink is really a pastel red.

But if a pink is added to a white patch (representing the unprocessed photo) and then compared with the red that's added to another white patch (representing the processed photo), progressively removing color from the now red patch until almost no color remains, wouldn't that extremely pale red, so pale that hardly anyone would be able to notice even a faint red tint, wouldn't that appear cooler than the unchanged pink patch? I suggest that everyone sample the colors from the processed and unprocessed image for themselves, but as I was never talking about areas other than the skin, the sampled areas should NOT include the hair (that was repeatedly discussed) or any other non-skin areas of the photo. My crop didn't include any part of the nose, BTW, since that seemed to be even warmer in the unprocessed photo and I didn't want to stack the odds in my favor.

Well, I did the original editing and can't follow the discussion about warm vs cool at all. Thanks for the kind words all. I am very lucky to have such a lovely daughter indeed.
