@Sheila - There's really no "odd man out". Everyone sees differently. It's even more so when everyone is seeing a slightly different version because of how their monitors are set. It's one of the reason I listen and absorb the comments people make (helps me to understand how people are seeing what I make), but I rarely chase what they think should be fixed unless it happens to be something I've already thought of fixing or something I just overlooked. Otherwsise, you end up running in circles and when you finally are done it's not really your image anymore. @Wolf - The highlight that runs down her body and then disappers below the knee is because the light is coming from camera right (late in the day, so the overcast sun is getting low in the sky) and her leg at that angle blocks the lower leg from direct contact with it. If I had to do it over again, I'd place a white reflector camera left outside of frame to give a little more light there. @Never - You know, that's what I thought when I looked at it again. The original is very cold. I don't know why I didn't see it when I first did them. It's so weird how likes and dislikes can change.
