I like number 1. The second one looks as if it was meant to go back 100 plus years, but it doesn't quite pull it off.

I like two better for a couple of reasons.

1. I'm into vintage stuff.

2. I think the background as it is, is too distracting. My eye is drawn to the texture and patterns and away from the subject.

Thems my two cents.

Thanks all, I should tone down the brighter spot around her head area some. I'll have to work on that.

I think this image would look great in BW with that same smoke effect you have in #2. Ease up on the grain slightly, and you'll have a really captivating image IMO
