Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

the original has more dynamic tones but the 2nd is more muted in colour it has a nice feel to it, 3rd one is too saturated doesn't look real

second because less glare comes off the idol and hence less distractions

I prefer the first one, I feel the others are a bit flat.

The first one for me as it has a more natural looking colour and seems to have nice contrast.

First one for me. I think it best captures the texture and materials. I find the two holes on either side of the neck distracting, though, just because the colour seems so arbitrary (if you know what I mean). Could this be justification enough to arbitrarily change it to something more inocuous?

I agree - the first one. I find the neck holes distracting too in the first and the third but not the second.
