I'll go out on a limb and suggest that cross processing doesnt really lend itself to this type of image. Cross processing sometimes works on edgy shots, in edgy scenes. In a straight up portrait with a clean background it looks like you are trying too hard to make the shot something its not. I vote #2, simply because it looks to be the most accurate.

I'd have to agree with Gonzogolf's assessment with cross processing... Never really works with indoor portraits for that matter. Edgy and outdoor portrait are great when using cross processing... Keep that in mind, as far as the portraits themselves, the original is fine the way it is... I'll go as far as saying #3 is also a nice one.
I appreciate both your inputs, and keep you thoughts in mind next time I am proccessing my photographs, after thinking hard, I feel you are both right, the cross processing does not fit indoor portraiture too well.
Thanks everyone for your C&C, it is always welcome, positive & negative
