Again, my sofa set and light from two windows, but with an overcast sky outside, everything becomes more moody.

I messed up something when shooting these.
If you look closely, you can see that the first image has a much bigger depth of field than the others.

It’s because I accidentally left the ISO on 4000.

So yeah, the first image was shot with a 4000 ISO setting, and the others with ISO 200.

It looks hideous in the raw, but after running it through the Lightroom AI denoise, it’s hard to tell the difference between the lower ISO images - at least after downscaling.
But look at the raw difference in the last image here…

Which of these three images is your favorite and why?

I’m a total sucker for 3, but it might be because I know the model so well, and it’s a perfect representation of how I know her:
Smily and happy.

The first one is perhaps more seductive, and the second again has a certain “Je ne sais quoi” quality (something that is hard to quantify or put your finger on.

But please let me hear your opinion: if you could only choose one, why that one?
