The second one is a great portrait. I love it when a photographer, and there are several here who do just that, manages to shoot the inside of a person along with the outside.
Even though the first picture might look a little flat, I think the lesser contrast actually fits it, it is flattering, after all.
The #2 B&W conversion and higher contrast are more eye-catching, but I think both pictures are really great portraits I'd be very pleased to have taken.

The first is a little flat to me- but that second one, whooee!
Good job Yuri!
# 2 what an icy glare! I'm nervous.

Spasibo, Yuri!
Take care!
