IMHO LR enhance wins hands down. I am really surprised by the lack of 
resolution and sharpness in the last three when viewed large. There is a 
noticeable difference in the last three in terms of quality even at 
"regular" size.

Erwin would not be impressed :-) Just look at the difference in the 
pattern of the subjects sweater in each, let alone anything else.

I can't help noticing that there is a crop or shift of the subject when 
viewed against the background in the later ones.

I am surprised!
