Priviet, dear friends!
These are not final editions - I'd like to know your thoughts about Olga's expressions on the photos - which one you'd like better?

As for me, I prefere #3, though her look goes to the near-by border of the frame (they say such look needs some space...)
Thank you in advance,

#1 or #2. Although I like the expression in #3, I just don't think the lighting in that or #4 is as flattering. If I had to make a final choice, I think it would be #2, though. It shows her gorgeous eyes and I like the thoughtfulness in it...
HTH! I'd love the see the final!

The expression in #1 is the winner - looks to me like she has received a phone call from a friend she has not heard from in some time. Don't you just love making up stories for the pictures you see?

She looks bored in #3 and kind of expressionless or flat in #4... ... #2 I can't decide.. definitely looks like she got distracted and is thinking of something that has nothing to do with the compact in her hand...
I guess which one is best has more to do with what are you trying to convey??

In a nutshell:
#1 is all about her looking at herself;
#2 she is looking beyond her compact but with a silly bite of her lip;
#3 You lose the lighting for no good reason ... the viewer is torn between wondering what she is looking at and trying to piece together her entire face because half is in shadow; and
#4 Is it, great Rembrant lighting with wonderful shadows, a Mona Lisa expressive mouth with a bit of mystery as to what she is looking at off camera ... makes her seem very natural and relaxed as if the camera wasn't there.

Cheers,
I like the second one as it seems most natural, the others are a bit more (or too) theatrical.
In all cases I would crop out the wall and the window on the left and keep an eye on these vertical lines.
