Much Better
Thank you, all, for your good, solid advice. I took dozens of pics yesterday and am happy to post some that I really like. I would love your opinions of these. Thanks, in advance.

I would choose #2, the profile. The others appear distorted due to the closeness to the model and the particular lens you are using. I also think it is beautiful in its own right.

Photoshop manipulation
Hi Patricia,
I hope you don't mind - I've done some color and distortion corrections on one of your photos. I've found that the spherize filter set to -3 or so will eliminate that fish-eye look that the lens casts on photos. A bit of keystoning helps too.
This is the one I would paint - I warmed up the background and her flesh a tad.
If I was going to reshoot - I would go for a touch of a smile - something enigmatic - think Mona Lisa.
I'm a bit less-than-qualified to offer these opinions, but - here they are anyway. 
Good luck.

Thank you Cindy! That really made a difference and this is my favorite pose, I will definitely use your image. I still haven't learned Photoshop but I guess I will be forced to as I learn to see what is wrong with my photos. All this technical stuff overwhelms me! I have a feeling this will be my first attempt at painting - will play with it allot over the coming months as I pull out the oils (yikes! but it is time!!)
Marvin, you have chosen the pose which my daughter-in-law likes the best and the one I am going to do "formally". I think it is a beautiful image, one I did not imagine I would respond to as much as I do. It has gotten a big response from my friends and family also.
Thank you both for your responses. It really boosts my enthusiasm. . .

You're welcome, Patricia.
If you'd like, you can email me your original high res file, and I'll duplicate what I did on the 72 dpi one.
You can email me at: [email protected]
Peace,

Sorry to raise another issue after you've probably begun this one but... Was it cold in Ohio the day you did the photo shoot? Her nose is very red in all of the photos.
