Thanks Bill. Your first pick is the consensus favorite. I like your second pick as well, but the pose is a bit unnatural.
The tough, no-smile look is what sells these days. Look at Vogue or one of the fashion supplements to the NY Times. But that aside, smiles just don't work for Kimberly. When she smiles with her mouth closed, those dimples at the edge of her mouth become extreme. (They're greatly softened here as it is.) When she smiles with her mouth open, her face appears to be far too long. Good to hear from you, Mr. Sawyer.
