The US version was the worst. Looks like a 6 year old did it in 1st grade computer lab.

Concur. I thought the Serbian version was quite attractive and was only a slight touch up on the woman.

They got United States wrong. In the U.S., celebrity women have enormous bee-stung lips resembling a goose’s anus.

I found that to be interesting. I wasn’t really fond of any of them, I guess you need to have a good base to work with first... I suppose.

I don’t think any of them are really pretty.

There were several girls in my high school class who were prettier and by a good bit.

She looks like Groucho in the Indian version.

They actually erased her collarbones. I didn't like the American version, and she is actually prettier in a the untouched version than a lot of them.

I think the big lesson here is that no matter where you are in the world, what culture you belong to, people need more Photoshop lessons.

Agreed. I see more attractive young ladies pretty much every day. She’s not ugly, but doesn’t stand out by any means.

Like another poster said upthread, it’s all about the “look at me” factor. Narcissistic shallow chick fishing for attention.

I sometimes wonder if my memory is accurate. It was nearly 50 years ago that I was in high school. A few days ago I got out my old 65 annual and sure enough, they were just as beautiful as I remembered.

“I think she looks good as is!”

My first thought as well, I did the the UK version though.

That was exactly my reaction. Perhaps they had a gay guy do the work on it.

Ha ha! Morocco!

Oddly, I find the Moroccan version the most attractive.

One thing I’ve learned from a limited knowledge of photography is that cultures have very different ideas around color photography and prints. Images that we consider “honest” color here in the US is dull and lifeless in Asia; European imagery is “cooler” than ours. Film (when they actually made many kinds) was formulated for each region.

She looks just fine the way she is in the real world.

I agree... and Esther is a such a beautiful name as well.
