various portraits L.C. original exposure

This image is being posted in response to the critiques received on an

altered version of the same image. The high contrast, noisy and blown

version is a preferred look by my current clients... even though it

departs from a technically accurate exposure... It's interesting, at

times what photographers think is necessary, may be far and away from

what a client actually desires. What do you think should take

priority? The one which pays the bills of course...

For me a good portrait, my dear friend!
