I'd go for this one. Be sure to rotate the figure in order to square it up with the canvas....the most obvious way is to use the chair leg (see below).

You have a lot of distortion in your shots. It will probably be worth your while to take your camera to a good photography store and get some advice on how to eliminate or at least minimize this problem.

Marvin Mattleson's advice here is verrrrry important and bears repeating:
Quote:
When taking photos it is very important to photograph the background separately. In the event you want to shift the figure you have the information of what lies behind it.
Your background is so distorted that you need to eliminate it. You might go back and reshoot parts of her room or some of her toys separately if you wish to include them.
