Thank you all for your comments. I haven't checked back here in a long time and was surprised to see that someone had responded.
Personally I like No.1 the best also. The only problem that I am finding with that one, is that so much of the composition is taken up with the background, that the figure (face) becomes quite small, unless I use a rather large canvas. I've started it on an 18x24 panel and her head is about 5 inches long.
Most of the paintings that I have seen in my life are prints in books, so I am finding that actual sizes of paintings can be a subject of much decision.
I try to always make sure that the faces are at least slightly smaller than real life, but the smaller they get after that, the more difficulty there is in getting good detail.
Ideally, I think this photo needs to become a painting that is larger than 18x24. Any thoughts on this would be welcomed.
