My personal preference would be for the left shot, jacket included, for its more
direct engagement, though both shots appeal…
Processing on the right shot seems a bit punchier; the lack of any pure blacks
on the first shot does leave it a little ‘hazy’ or soft looking, though I imagine that
that was your intention…
Aren’t the best shots shot into the light? :) I like the left hand shot, looks like you’ve added a vignette, I htink I would have gone the other way on the vignette. I was playing with lens-flare recently and have to say I like the effects.
