better. Pete.

I am glad you shared this, it is interesting to see another version of this exposure.

I feel this is more aesthetically pleasing than the other version. It is easier to see the subject and identify with her mood. There is a human connection that makes the image more emotionally powerful. There is not a sense that one is studying her skin in a detached and analytic way.

Now on to this image-- I like the close and off center framing, shallow depth of field, and the sparkle in her eyes. My only critique is that it looks like a lot of light is reflecting up from a table she is sitting at, so her chin has a slightly distracting bright spot on it.
