Retouched photos poll

Dear member,

For reasons that I will explain in a newsletter later this week, I am looking for a new retoucher.

For that reason I would value your opinion on the following three versions of the same photo, which features Rossana - the photo was shot in my home studio last month, using professional studio lighting.

Which of the three versions do you prefer? If you don鈥檛 like any version please feel free to say it in the comments below.

Please also free to provide any qualitative comments - they would be much appreciated.

This poll is open to all 800+ members, so I am hoping there will be loads of comments!

I like 3, looks a soft but more natural.

Version 1 is a bit too perfect, with a bit too much editing, which makes it less natural. Version 2 is too bright, which is especially noticeable near the model's head - her fair hair almost blends in with the white background. Version 3 is the best in my opinion.
