I'm going with the second. The face catches my eye better. It appears lighter and more inviting.

Me2, but don't know if the toning is to much :(

Toning?...perhaps, but everything is subject to opinion and artistry. :-)

Oh thanks for that brother :P

Hi,I just wanted to comment your picture, erased it again(now already 3 times) because I didn't want to be harsh.
I see you put alot of effort into postprocessing. Try to redo your d&b and be a little more settle. Try to practise d&b on a portrait, which looks straight at your camera.
Edit: Try to see from where light comes from. The light of her sweater and her face have a different angle.

Oh, you aren't hash because of your criticizing, it's just positive, so I can learn and better my post processing, Im always open to cons, so dont worry about it homie - I have only placed DB where there was light and shadows to start with, hmm.

Yeah they are both very nice, but I'm a sucker for the "Dani Diamond" look :P

Regardless, you nailed the look as it's shot and retouched very well.

Haha, it's difficult to nail his style, thanks for the postive words homie :P

Skin color of the first and overall toning of the second but you gotta turn down that dodge and even it out, especially on her nose. you will never find that harsh of a shadow on the side of the nose that doesn't evenly fade into the cheek a little.

So your advice is, I have to mask out the tones in the face in the second one? Yeah I know, I have gone too far with the side of the nose, but can't change it, quited photoshop :(

Ya at least lightly mask them out. Unless you saved as a JPEG you can always try opening the TIFF file again in photoshop. And if you flattened the image you may still have history info in the TIFF that will let you unflatten it.
