I think your face looks slimmer in the first shot.

They are both good in their own way, in the first i think your giving good energy but look a little tense (try relaxing and lengthening your neck), in the second I think that you look lovely but my critique would be that maybe you look a little angry. If you want to choose between them it depends on what your style is. I think the second one shows you of better. A.

The bottom is more sultry. I don't see anger at all. The first is more neutral. On first pass, my instinct said the first but looking more closely, I prefer the second because it feels more natural. The first feels more stiff. They both make you look stockier then any other shot in your port so I don't know that they're the most accurate representation of you in your port.

not a big fan of either, but if I had to pick one, the bottom one. It looks like you have no neck in either, but the bottom one might be a little better neck-wise. I'm also not a fan of the armpit crease and bra strap in the top, so I'd go w/the bottom.

I like the bottom one the best. She has the illusion of wearing no top, her face appears thinner to me and I like her hair better.
