I like the lighting and the very direct gaze.

Definitely contact with the photographer  with that intense look directly into the lens ... A striking portrait and I prefer the closer crop and processing of the first edit ....On the second image, the arm ( lower left )distracts, taking the eye out of the picture and  the lightening  of part of the background  above her shoulder on the left of the image  also seems  better hidden by the darker   area on the first image Yeah.... for me the first image is the better one Mik.
