I thought the right face was more attractive - it looks "warmer" (nicer, friendlier) than the left one. I must be doing something wrong, like preferring women with whom I would like to be friends. ;-)
- kmfrk 16y agoMe too. I guess we are fetishists and should prowl at the circus?
- amalcon 16y agoThis is an effect of the lighting. The picture on the right has much better lighting; it's almost textbook portrait. The compositing messed up the lighting in the one on the left, which makes the features look muted in comparison. My guess would be that the pictures that made up the right-hand composite were more consistent. Either the faces were more consistently in the same place, or they consistently had similar lighting.
- superuser2 16y agoI agree. The one on the left seems to have the hallmarks of objective attractiveness, but I could much more easily see myself spending time with the one on the right.
- jokermatt999 16y agoPerhaps it's because the right looks more "human". The over compositing will result in attractive features, but it also seems like it can have an almost uncanny valley effect where it's rejected for being too perfect.
- superuser2 16y agoI can see that being true, but they're both composites. I don't know, the left one is what I'd call "hot", though it's not really attractive to me. The right one seems to fit "cute" much better.
- kaitnieks 16y agoSince all HN'ers claim they chose right sided faces, I'll be the one to admit I chose all lefts (easy). But I didn't choose a woman (or man :D) to marry, I just chose whichever I considered to be more attractive generally speaking.
