Lith horse portrait

I tried an experiment and lithed one print and printed the other as a warm-selenium toned print. This is the lith version. Which do you prefer?

FYI - I also printed a version of this for a postcard exchange for those who thought it looked familiar!

I think this has more life, more personality. The selenium toned one is good too, but it killed some of that personality. Great photograph either way!

Great photograph as Thomas said. I like the lith version also more, maybe the selenium toned standing alone will be judged as beautiful, but when compared to lith ...

I prefer the tonality of this one. On the other hand, the eye of the selenium toned print seems to me to have more luminosity because of the additional detail visible in its lower half. So I'm undecided, but it's a fine photo anyway.
