Trying to establish my own colours

[sconner]

Hey guys, I'm trying to slowly learn my new camera sensor and unify my color output, but when you sit on one subject for too long you start to mix your adjustments to the point when you don't know whats good and whats bad. So I'm asking for your opinion! I'm trying to get something that looks tiny bit like analog, with pleasant delicate colors, subjective comments more than welcome!

I've prepared two test photos. First straight from the camera and two variations, let me know what you think:

1.

1A.

1B.

2.

2A.

2B.

1a and 2a for me

1A and the Ape looks best in 2b but not the background

1a and 2a

1b 2b

Thanks guys! Are the B versions look a bit over saturated to you?

I think it would be a more useful experiment if the images were all correctly (or at least similarly) exposed. I'd say 1 and 2 are somewhat under-exposed; 1B and 2B may be a bit over-exposed. To my eye the differences in exposure swamp the differences in colour.

Another vote for the "a" versions.

Hard to say without having prints from each in front of me.
