Wedding party before & after

...at least I think this one was in "easy."   

I like to upload two versions ... one with all the defects fixed and the other with my best stab at color correction.  In this one I put a lot of effort into bringing out the detail in the washed-out dress.  What do y'all think?

ORIGINAL:


DEFECTS FIXED:


FINAL:

I think it looks perfet. Good job.

Looks great! I actually prefer the coloring in the first version (not "final"). Something about the dress in the color-fixed version just looks too harsh to me. But you did a wonderful job!

If you use the defects fixed photo and neutralise it in Photoshop CS2 (if you are using that), I think the image then looks more natural.  Under Image/Adjustments/Match Colour and then select Neutralise.  It gives a slight blue cast but that can be dealt with as well.  The dress to me in the final photo is I think (reaching here) contrasty.

Does that make sense, I hope so.
