Hi, Jean.

I like number two. The only thing I would say about this is that I'd like to see you take the same photo again with a reflector of some kind on the right side, bouncing light back into the shadows, illuminating the right side of her face (our right, her left). A large mirror propped against a chair will work. Just position it so that you can see the reflected light from the window, projected onto the dark side of her face. Just a suggestion. Even a large piece of cardboard covered with aluminum foil would work.

I'm sorry to hear that you are in pain. I wish there was something that could help.
