Rock 'n' Roll

I like take #3… given the title.

The falloff on the hand in #2 is much too strong to be
pleasurable IMO… or not enough!

All takes could benefit from a fine rim light. Though the
model has accentuated facial features, 2 and three are
very cool as #1 is not so flattering.

the highlight recovery on the face of #1 is too apparent.
the other two are much better exposed.
 
Crop 3rd one to loose the sleeve and you're onto a winner.
It's the best of the three in my opinion but her darker trouser leg makes her shoulder look wrong imho.

Not for me…
as the arm was defining the legs.

In any case, you got some cool elements
in all three takes so reshoot them building
on them and have a good time!
 
Not really, I'd have preferred a portrait crop just off the shoulder.
If you darkened the shoulder to almost black with a gradient as if it was light fall off it might work better for me.
 
I like them. There’s just enough detail in the blacks.

I’m not sure it’s really low key but there are lots of definitions. A softer key light might have worked better and a smidge more separation from the background - with a reflector? - would be worth a try.

I see what you mean, and thought about that the next day. I'm waiting another occasion to follow your advices, Thanks ;)

Do you think we can fix that problem in Photoshop or it will be too complicated ?

Anything is possible but in my experience Photoshop is good for emphasising what is there already,
You might be able to get better separation with a different conversion but adding fake rim light will be exceedingly hard to do convincingly.

There's an adage which often holds true - 'you can always take light away but you can't add it.'
