Senior Photos: classic or stylized..?

[RebeccaJoy]

I generally try to keep pretty classic with my editing, but thought I might try a few different things for this senior session. I can't decide which I like better and thought maybe I could get a little bit of feedback on which edit you prefer, or any suggestions you all might have...

Traditional:


Stylized:


Thanks so much!

Rebecca I would go for the first image. Her skin looks natural to me...Very nice shot by the way...

I like them both. I had a look at your stream, and I think the look you had on the "Breezy Day Vintage" image would suit this image well. It may be just me, but I like really bright colors muted just a bit. Nice work btw!

Thanks for your comments and suggestions!

RLucas, here is one with more of that vintage feel, do you like this edit better?

I like the tones in this much better. BTW, did you do any smoothing?

I smoothed her skin yes, too much? not enough?

I don't want to be too critical, but, yeah it's too much. I would back off on it. It looks as though she has good skin anyway. Unless this is something she wanted you to do.

The vintage style is way in right now, I have a hard time but I think the first one is best.
