THOSE EYES #2
THOSE EYES #2
This is the other version of previous post, crop and tones are different. I am confused, you have to decide which one is better.

Rakesh, I think I go for this version as it looks perfectly done. Exposure, lighting, details..all well done.

  Ricky, I think all are great portraits in their own respect. Here the eyes are really speaking, vibrant. Last one had more soothing effect and eyes were milder. Yaar ye model kon hai. In a woman I find eyes are the most impressive part. Mashaalla, mohterma ki ankhe to teer hai. Seedhe dil per war karti hain. Khush raho. Tarunda.

member since: 9/14/2005 I think I like this one better, Rakesh! It looks a little sharper. Both are superb!

  Guess I'm swimming against the tide, Rakesh... as lovely as this b&w version is, I find the sepia tones with Those Eyes more pleasing. But then, it's all a matter of personal taste, isn't it?

  Rakesh, both are quite beautiful and the same applies to this image as I stated for #1!!! I have spent a couple of minutes going from one to the other, and would have to say I like #1 a little better. #1 appears 'softer' which enhances 'those eyes' more! Any way they are both excellent... Cheers, Glenn.

  Rakesh, I like this one a little more because of the shadow on one side give this one the edge, but I would hang both side by side or under each other rather than choose one

  Since I was not privy to the first, I can only comment on this piece. It is wonderful, as the eyes completely capture the viewers eye. Peace, karen

  What a way to get people to study your work, LOLOL!!! I just spent 15 minutes looking from one to the other! I tend to lean toward a warm tone in B/W, but I think I prefer the crop on this one. Both versions show that you started with a great shot and added a bit of your soul :-)

  I looked at both several times to see the difference. This image has a blue cast, in other respects any other differences are so minor that I cannot give a difinitive answer.

While looking at both, I noticed a roughness in the whites of her eyes...as though you did not cover your editing tracks. If I were doing this I would have selected these portions and applied a surface blur.

So...my choice is the one you posted yesterday, Rakesh.

  Between the two photos just alike, I looked at both just now and both are gorgeous; but I think I vote for this one. I like the cooler tones. I think it's a personal preference, though. Somehow the cooler tones emphasize her features more to me.

  Too difficult for me to choose on a favorite. I like the sepia tones as it is a less used tone.

  Sir both versions are really outstanding!!
But I am not sure about the models right eye(the white portion), which is looking slightly flat in my monitor.

  I like the colour of this one best Rakesh! Also, I don't know if it is my monitor since no-one else seems to have mentioned but the other one has some different colour blotches on it.

  I also prefer this one, it is a beautiful portrait.

Like Kate I can see color blotches (red)on the other (on the left cheek, forhead and hands), maybe it is my calibration though as only one other person has mentioned it.

I think I would still prefer this one though - maybe I should invest in a new screen too as this one is quite old :-)
