The first one

The original is the first one. The only test was to see if other people view it as I do. This has been a good exercise for me.

I am right handed. And, another thing I heard is that people have a "strong" eye. The same as you have a "strong" hand or foot. So, this means you're seeing more with one eye than the other. There is a way to test it, so it is true. My "strong" eye is my right, just like my hand.

I want to be able to train my eye to see these problems. And for now, I'm gonna do this exercise of flipping it on my computer, or a mirror, to see any flaws I might have missed.

Another thing that concerned me was that when you do a portrait of yourself from a mirror, the image is flipped. That is how you see yourself, but that is not how other people see you. For example, I have a "cowlick?" on my right side. In the portrait, it's on my left. I don't know how big of an issue that is, though.

The specific flaws I seen when flipping it were one of my eyes is off kilter, my nose is off-center, and my mouth could use a slight adjustment. Maybe, my lack of noticing was from staring at it too long from the same viewpoint.
