natural or cross processed?

I'm having trouble deciding between these two edits. Anyone care to share which they like?





Thanks for any and all comments

I like the tone of her hair better in the second pic (little green in the first one), but what is her skin tone in real life? Is it as pink as the second one?

I agree with the first poster. The first shot has a lot of green tint and is not very flattering to your model. The second shot, therefore, is the better of the two but still seems to have an unnaturally pinkish-orange cast. But maybe that's the effect you were looking for? At any rate - definite thumbs down to photo 1.

I'm a huge fan of Xpro.. so I'd go with that.

Anyone can get a properly lit, high key photo with properly lit subject (on a technical, not artistic level), but getting a nicely xproed image isn't as easy.

To me the Xpro is so much better. Looks different to make you wonder why it's different, whereas the other one could have made me think.. *yawn* (in terms of color). I think the color tint IS flattering, but not because of the color itself, but exactly because it's different.. as I say.. many could do the first one.

How are you doing your editing? LR, PS, other? If LR, did you use a preset, and do you care to share?

Well done.
