Alternate version. Two sliders moved in Lightroom.

And also the Victorian Gent.
Probably the first version.
Best wishes,
Iggy

My preference would be about half way between the two versions, and perhaps with very slight Sepia applied.

Something like this? I am not sure about the sepia.

Yep, that's a nice balance.
My thought yesterday was it might benefit from the slight desaturation, but today me disagrees with yesterday me.

On reflection, I prefer the updated version as well. The previous incarnation of the image lacked subtlety but I had not got around to finding a solution. Your comment helped me work out what I needed to do. Thanks.

One of the changes I made was a small adjustment using Lightroom's Red Hue slider, nudging it across to the right. It has given the skin tones a more realistic tone, which is what I think you were after.
PS - Interesting website, BTW. I like the way that you use graphics for the links and the succinct descriptions. Bouldering sounds like fun. I had not heard of it before.

I agree, that's probably what it was.

Thanks. I have future plans to expand on the concept to a fully rendered environment which can be explored, but obviously that's a much greater effort, especially whilst maintaining simplicity/usability.

That sounds quite a challenge. I look forward to seeing how the concept evolves.

I like the second image (reflects a rather Victorian used appearance) but image three is growing on me (it looks a lot more natural).
Iggy is right about a panel for next years exhibition. Will it be print (which I'd like to see) or PDI?
