Poll: Which picture looks best?

[Ikonomi]

Which looks best as far as color goes? I'm trying to get a handle on the best use of the auto adjustments in Photoshop.

Image 1 -- Straight from the camera.

Image 2 -- Auto Levels.

Image 3 -- Auto Color.

Image 4 -- Auto Color and Auto Levels.

The first one, from the camera, is there mainly for reference. It has a bad yellow cast.

3 or 4 look just about the same to me. I'd pick one of them.

#3

#2 is overcolored. looks too cartoony.
#4 has too much accented gloss.

Thanks, guys. I was leaning toward #4, but my monitor may not be calibrated correctly. I guess image 4 has too much contrast?

Edit: The poll takers can't decide between 3 and 4. 😛

Any other votes before I go to bed?

#1, the yellow looks nice.

It's all a little bit blurry.

I thought 3 & 4 looked very good, 4 just a bit better. 100% layman 😛
