They are all quite wonderful photos. I personally like the first one as it tells more of a story to me than the other two. All too often as portrait artists we are stuck doing one or two figures just sitting and posing. While these are nice and certainly valid, I like portraits where the pose implies a feeling or story that viewers compose in their minds as they look at the painting.
