Which one of the two models shall I keep?

I always make several different versions, and then I can not choose. :banghead:

middle 2 on the top 1 not so good with loud backgrounds maybe blur it out more
and for the 2nd 1 I choose the 1 2nd along
Thats my choice
 
That's i think more depends on story you want to tell.
I vote for:
1.2 (from left to right) - I like most. Feels like 60-ies (would be more if cars in background would be older ones).
2.3 (from left to right) - Same thing. Nice oldies nostalgia.

And i like those colors. Warm and relaxing. Pleasant.

Others i don't "feel". And with those rails they look like she want to make suicide or something which can be their story but then they look to "happy" for that.
 
Very nice work cindy , I see your masking/removing the background from the model is REALLY clean and effective , what method are you using to do this? I know there are many different ways, just wondering how you do yours :)

I noticed you have almost every stray hair extracted... fantastic!

Thank you!!! haha no she will not make suicide. Absolutly not :)
thanks for your comment and I am glad you like the colors. Actually I had another version with an old car too, but I did not upload it.
 
The 2 with best harmony are (according to my own taste that is) nr 4 at the top row and no:1 at the second. Her legs (second row) are not in tune with the surrounding light and on row nr 1 it is both background and light in relation to the light in her hair that cause a bit disharmony. In nr4 & nr1 the harmony feels much better.

So, do all our opinions make it easier or harder to figure out?

I think the middle two in the top row appeal more because the model looks like she should be placed in an urban environment, with city lights. I'm leaning toward the street scene; its warmth and ambiance just seem to fit, though I like the other for its simpler background highlighting the model.

On the bottom row, the rightmost appeals to me. (But maybe that's just something I like about train tracks. My favorite shot of the eiffel tower is one i took from a train platform miles away.) I like this model best in the sepia tone and the subtlety of that in this picture. The other sepia is nice, just doesn't have as much of a story. In the leftmost image, the rocks seem almost like they are creeping up on her (ok, what kind of nightmare did that come from).

Those are my picks. Thanks for asking our opinions.

Yes you are right. There are many different ways to cut out. Usually I do it by hand. Then I think I have the best overview, and I can vary the brush hardness and softness of the object / model.
When it comes to hair, I usually paint back what I lose during the cut out.

Many times it is possible to use the channels or by selecting the color range.

However, with models such as this hair is difficult. To avoid having to sit and paint the hair that I lose during normal stripping, I've used Topaz Remask. And it works, sometimes good.

Thank you so much ibclare for your comment. Ha ha...It seems like it not will be any easier for me to choose LOL
But its very informative to know how people think. And I think its a good way to learn more. I really appreciate all your comments and different ways to see on it. I think its wonderful.

Hello Cindy!

I like 2 and 2. I don´t really know why, but they are the ones that my eyes kept going back to and settling on. All great of course, as usual. :)
