My vote`s for the top pic. Both are fantastic. Great work.

WITH Skin Texturing look's so much more realistic on the top one. Outstanding work on both. Love the blue eye makeup really bring's them out! Perfect work as alway's. "V"

Sorry, can't choose, they both look great in their own way!

I have to agree the top one has a warmer realer look..Excellent texture and lights to.

Excellent textures and fantastic work Deane !!! V *** ... Antonio.

both looking beautiful but...hummm...i would choose WITH because it looks more realistic and is matching with her eyes. :o)

I choose the top one, it looks so real, but both are good!!! ^_^

Top one, it makes her lips look more realistic and the shading around her eyes, cheeks also!! But both are excellent!

Think I will have to go with the top one - although both are good, the bottom one come out a little "air brushed" - Nice work either way!!!

All its nice...cant say 1 or 2 is better ;-)

Very beautiful portrait !! Excellent work !! Bye Orion ^_^

I can't choose, I like them booth. I like her freckeled and I like the smooth porclein skin at the bottom. Both very beautiful. HUGS Maria

Beautifully prepared to result in the viewer making the choice and you have prepared both versions beautifully to undergo close scrutiny. Both are very fine in their own right Deane. Beautiful work. Steve :o) V!

They both look pretty good. If anyone chooses then I think they're just taking the Miki outta ya. :-)

Oh Miki you're so fine, you really blow my mind Oh Miki...whups got carried away there, prefer freckles...Cheer's :o)

excel work, from or come these ocular spheres? they are really super!

Definitely with RSS! You can give TLC to every one of those sunkisses. Incredible work, Deane.

So are you getting a commission on this??? Lololol, just kidding! Of course the top one with the Real Skin Shader is much better if you are after realism! And I have to say Tamelas texture is stunning! If I had this model it would be a "have to have" the eyes are top notch!!! Great examples!!! ~hug~

Oh thank you for showing us the difference it is amazing what you can do. Both portraits are fantastic V Cathy xoxoxo

Both portraits are just marvelous and for sure the top one looks more natural, but for his kind of figure I ould prefer the bottom one, mostly asian have not this much freckles! Excellent work!!

Top one Deane! Looks great! Nice portrait!!

Well I'd give either a cuddle. :) Excellent work Deane!

I'm truly speechless - this is perfect and so beautiful! BRAVO Vote and straight into fav list!

With definatly. :) georgous skin texture.

Definitely the RSS. "Without" looks a little plastic.

They are both gorgeous but I'd defintitely go with the RSS, the tones are beautiful.

Both are stunning, but I agree with the previous commentors about the RSS: the top one looks more realistic. Awesome work!

I think the second one is actually more suitable for Miki, being of Asian decent. Maybe it's me, but you don't see too many Asian women with alot of freckles. I imagine porceline like skin. Don't get me wrong, I think the shaders are great, but my prefence in this case is for image #2.

"with", please... much more interesting and engaging that way :)

Both are excellent images, but I think I have to concur with Forevernyt.
