Default Opinions?

I'm starting to play around with some color processing. I'm curious if it looks better with or without the processing. What do you think?

Au natural


Color Processed

For me, I like the first one as the colors are a bit more vivid. The processed one seems like the colors are rather flat, but my monitor is not calibrated, either.

For these types of family portraits, such processing can sometimes feel out of place. Personally, I prefer the original :-)

Thanks Mike and Leona.

Boyan, I bet you're right. Like I said, I'm just now beginning to play around with colors, and can't really figure out if it's worth it. At the moment, I'm thinking no. We'll see, though. Thanks!
