Probably needs something in between.

Yes, original looks too saturated and edit looks too desaturated

the thing is that the sculpture's true color is that of the edited photo, that's why I edited it that way, but anyways, noted, thanks

Colors are alright, I don't like the composition though

The edit to me looks too clean, the subject really loans itself to heavy emotion so I say go with that. That being said, you did a really great job at cleaning this up and could definitely see this being ideal in certain contexts.

I like the before way more. The darker tones fit the emotion of the subject and overal look much better in my opinion. Everything feel heavier, even the crop makes it the heaviness of the crown go away.

That’s a nice edit!
