My problem with Number 1 is that the light/shadow divide is exactly down the center of the face and that will become a more obvious compositional problem as you begin to paint.

I think that photo Number 2 would make the most interesting painting because of the way the shapes of light and dark interact.

All good painting begins with good abstraction as its solid foundation.
