In 20 years number one will considered vintage, and maybe people will be trying to recreate the old timey digital look from the 2010s.....before everything became a 3D hologram with smell-o-vision.

Although I am pretty much a purist, therefore #1 is obviously my choice I feel that 2 is also nice and has it's place. #3, in my opinion has too much texture and is distracting. When I am viewing actual vintage photos I find that my mind is often times trying to correct them. When I scan images for restoration my goal is to clean them up as much as possible and then correct as much of the aging/deterioration process as possible...... so..... having said that now let me say 1 more thing. If I have a client that wants a vintage (lets say pin-up) image and we set the scene and create the image and a vintage look fits the image well, I still prefer 2 but would be open to trying more radical approaches. Thanks for the excercise!

Well, I'm no pro. But I agree with this. If the client wants a wistful, dreamy look, #2 does deliver that. #3 appears overcooked to me. Of course #1 is much closer to what I have come to expect from a pro. Though the lighting in #1 is a bit harder than my ideal, and the processing in #2 fixes that. So, for myself, I would have difficulty choosing between 1 and 2. I voted #2 (mostly to reward the good effort).

Thanks, Kelly! I appreciate the input. Very good comments.
I think Stuart represented what most would do for their clients by making the distinction between our personal vision when creating and analyzing photos and the desires of the client. For anyone that wants to get paid--it's kind of an important distinction to keep in mind.
