Which do you prefer?

This is Monique, Seydou's wife, enjoying a laugh.

Just wondering - which photo do you prefer?

clearly monique 2. from a photographic POV the contrast between her rows of teeth and her more diagonal body position make the photo more interesting. also her body language in pic 1 shows something like being brought to lough by the photographer (she's still watching him), while in pic 2 she's truely loughing.

very nice colours! especially the blue-pairs (shirt/door) and the pink-pairs (shawl/mug).

I'm with Helge, for all the reasons he states. Great photo.

monique 2
she clearly looks like she's enjoying life in this photo -- it radiates

found your site via A World Of Bloggers, keep up the great work!

Even before reading the other opinions, I too chose #2. Monique is obviously truly laughing and enjoying herself--whether or not anyone is taking a photo.

I like them both but I love the JOY on her face in #2

Okay, that seems fairly decisive so far. Anyone disagree...?
