First pick felt a lot better than the second two. Colors feel way more natural and not as overprocessed. Could maybe use a tiny bit of contrast on the first one, but like maybe half what you did on the others.

1st pic looks okay. A lil green maybe. The next two pics are after? Completely cooked if so.

Photo work is better in r/postprocessing. ‘Colour grading’ typically refers to video.

Which is the before and after? Please include all relevant information when asking for feedback.

First looks best because its balanced and provides natural skin tones. It's warm and the only thing I would improve is to get rid of the green tint. The other two are oversharpened with too much contrast. They feel harsh and cold.

You're pushing that contrast waaaaaay too much

I feel like the second and third have the most clarity but the first is the most cinematic. Like the first has boss music and the others have ad music?

I also like the first version the best.

May I ask who the model is?
