Carnival portrait - which do you prefer ?

I am still processing my carnival photos. I am completely done with day 1 now. Just need to complete the 2 ramaining days.

I tried an alternative cropping of this one:

Which do you prefer?

#1

I prefer #2. I like that you can see more of her/her costume.

#2, although the cropping is rather awkward on both. But #2 has enough room to crop it satisfactorily smaller.

I agree, I like no 2 best because I think the focus is the costume, not to say she isn't very pretty but the costume is great.

I like the second, but it wouldn't hurt to spend a few minutes with the healing brush on her forehead.

#2

a much better crop to display the costume, as noted previously.

I would actually prefer to see less of her costume but leave the #2 crop
so number 2 for me

The second without doubt but if the first shot wasn't a crop of the second I could have some uncertainty about which to choose.

Thanks all. Its interesting. I myself prefer #1.
