Can you fade out the background just behind her? So it's like #1 behind her, and a little lighter than #3 for the rest?
The contrast is very improtant to identify the MC. If this were in the middle of a book, #3 would be fine. At the beginning #1 or #2.

I like #2

@smceccarelli definitely number 2, the muted background helps me find the focus of the piece

@smceccarelli Really depends on what you mean to emphasisze here. For example, if you mean to emphasize the character and her individuality, I might pick two because she's nicely singled out. If the narrative was more, "just like anyone else," I think I might pick 1 because it's a nice balance between the contrast of 2 and the busyness of 3. 3 is just too similar from background to foreground for me to say it'd be good to use besides maybe the inside cover of the book or something, where the character is already recognized as important, and can be found by the observant reader

I like the 2nd one, although I think the girl is a little too over saturated and perhaps the hues are a touch too yellow in her face which is causing issues by having the yellow planks behind her. Maybe if the bandana was a different colour that may help that issue though. Of course as @Jabbernewt said the choice is based on what, or who you want to emphasis, but if it's the girl then I would say the 2nd one. It's beautifully done though and it's always great seeing your working process

I like the first one. It just has the right amount of saturation. The girl is saturated while the background characters are slightly desaturated but not to the point that makes our protagonist to stand out like a sore thumb. That’s what i feel is happening in image 2 the girl looks too saturated compared to the other characters that she feels out of place. While #3 is just too saturated over all that I don’t know where to focus. Definitely go with #1. I hope this helps. Thanks!

@smceccarelli Number 1 gets the balance really well. Love all the variations in characters in this piece!
