Mary,
I agree with Chris on this one. She is really exquisite at this angle and, if it were me I would go to the lengths necessary to reshoot this one.

No, I'm afraid not. She is five hours away. I won't see her again until probably Summer, if then.
I saw the girl with the pearl in that shot too. I suppose I could TRY to explain to her mother what to do and see what we come up with. She does have a great camera.
Of course, since this was just for me, I don't have to do it at all, it could wait. Or of course use one of the other three for now and get her in the last pose later in the year.
I wonder if anything could be done in photo shop to help with that last one?

OKOKOKOKOKOKOKOK! 
Just a question though, are you saying the first three are not suitable references?
Let's pretend a moment I had not shown you the one of her looking back that we all like. Would you be telling me to reshoot then?
Trying to learn.

If I had a model this beautiful, my brain would be working overtime to capture something really special. Your pictures, though lovely don't really do such an exquisite subject justice.

It's not the perfect lighting situation, but it's not bad. It was the white balance that was off in your shot.
In addition - if you were to do this shot - I'd soften the wrinkled worry look on her forehead.

The point is we did see the other one. But that's really besides the point. The key is to ask yourself if any of these really do her justice. If the answer is yes then why are you posting these? Obviously you know something's lacking so you're asking for permission to assume one of these is workable.
Permission not granted! The answer is always inside you.
