Hi Mike.
Number one is a nice shot, but it looks too much like a page from "Vogue". O.K. for selling clothes maybe, but not the best portrait. Number two is my favorite. I know you just finished "Morgan", but the sun dappling on this one is equally compelling, especially spread over that facial structure and the perfect upper lip profile. My second choice would be the edgy one. It would be tempting to keep the decolletage, but I like it better cropped to just the head and shoulders. There's something a bit unbalanced about the way she's leaning in from the right.
She certainly does look like a fashion model, but the Cherokee/Creek component must be mighty dilute. The complexion, cheekbones and eye color all show a stronger influence of the Baltic Tribe. I hear they're trying to get official recognition so they can build a casino in Rhode Island someplace.
