Thanks for all the kind comments.

Processing was very minimal on #1, 3, 5, 6. Just a little contrast, a little clarity, and a little boost to saturation.

#2 is mostly a Lightroom cross-process preset, plus some corrections to blown highlights on the hat and gloves, with the text added in Photoshop. A lot of retro/vintage advertising and art has very simple layout and unadorned fonts, so I tried to emulate that sort of look here.

#4 is mostly just cranked-up Clarity in Lightroom, plus a little added saturation, and some additional burning to further darken the eye sockets.

I think I was pretty nice? Guess I'll find out. I asked Santa for two more tall lightstands. Maybe if I'm really good, he'll bring me a studio strobe with a modeling light so I can get shots like #4 on the first try instead of the fifth try.
