Hi Olena,
I second the room's poll that #3 photo is a wonderful choice. The angled posture, and the balance of the figure makes it a wonderful choice for a painting reference.
However, i think Mike's advice here is absolutely something to bear in mind for this project:

What i'd like to add to Mike's words, is also to keep "movement brushstrokes" for certain areas of the painting, instead of having a smooth, finished look throughout the painting. This will definitely bring out the energy and mood of the painting, and that sense of satisfaction you'd be looking for.
