I think Ben3 is a clear winner for overall fidelity to life. Beyond that it has some beautiful touches, like the almost turquoise back reflections on the shaded side of his shirt. It doesn't appear as bold as Ben1 in the area of the face, but I'm ascribing that to surface reflection from the lighting when it was photographed. On my screen the glasses are the darkest value in the painting, darker than anything in the face area. I can see the glare in the previous Ben3 post; it's really obvious. In the process of getting things from the painting to a forum post a lot can go wrong. This digital technology has its limitations!
