Reprocessing an old comp shot for printing.

Original:


Reprocess:


Catchlights removed:


EDIT: Contrast Increased:


I'd like opinions on colour and contrast. I like the colour of the reprocess but think it needs more contrast?
Also, do you prefer it with catchlights or not? (Only quickly removed so proper version would be neater).

For me the original looks perfect .The others look like they are pushed a bit to far .Too much saturation / contrast .But printing wise i know nothing so i'll leave it to wiser minds to comment

I like the last one as an abstract print, big bright and it looks more fluid without the catchlights.

IMHO I tend to agree with Tony, definatley the first one for me.... Way more natural and un-edited.

It would be #1 for me too Nick.

#1 for me as well, last one is too much process to look real, tho it serves right for being an abstract.

Where are the drops after this?

Thanks for the feedback.

Few more versions:

Original colouring with most of the catchlights removed.


Darker:


Middle:


Thoughts?

Undecided between #1 and #3 of second batch.
I do like the sparkle of lihgt you have left in the top centre of shot.
