I find #2's composition not all that great - although well balanced, a little too much open, uninteresting space occupying the middle of the image, I think. Meanwhile, #1 has playful spunk all over it! (Perhaps very much in tune with the subject's personality?) Compared to #2, #1 is the sort of image I'm more likely to remember a year from now.
Wow Rook.......you are the only one going for #1!!!! Talk about thinking outside of the box! You bring up some good points though. Thanks for your thoughts and comments.
