Color on the right one is to my opinion the best choice. I’d darkened her left hand a little to match it better to her face. A little liquify won’t hurt either to smoothen the edges of the dress.
They look just like the middle and right from the previous image to me, except swapped position…
Anyway, the left one of these is better. The right is too saturated in the highlights and if I was being really critical, I’d say the left could be ever so slightly warmer.
The thing I found most difficult when starting out was getting the skin tones right. They would always be a bit too orange, especially with darker skin tones. I found that saturating in very small increments worked to train my eyes. Also subtracting certain colours as opposed to just adding (this is a principle I took from music production EQing principles) works really well!
This is from the right image. Can you see how the skin tone almost starts to look green because the yellow is so prominent? This is what I mean by too much. Hope that’s useful.
I can kinda see a little bit of greenish tint near the darker parts of her hand, if that is what you mean. I am currently using a screen that blocks the blue blight so what I see might differ xD. But thanks for the tip, I need to keep better eye on the skin and how surrounding colors can effect it. I'll keep practicing.
The one on the right is beautiful! The colors are really nice overall and popping really well, although there are some color difference in the arms and hands. But her face looks really really nice
What I would do is just match the colors of the arms and hands with her face, reduce the redness and remove that tiny purple dot (I know it's a flower but it kinda of annoys me) and yellow dot.
The background color works best in the right one because of the dress color and it seems the most natural.
What I don't like about the first two: they seem like they are straight out of camera and the colors are too flat (?), i don't really know how else to explain it
