I like three. If you can reshoot, try playing with the hat to cast a more even and dynamic pattern across her face.

I like 2 the best. 1 is a little too 'flash blasted' for my tastes. For 3, I just can't get into the vintage washed out look. I've tried, yeah, just not my thing.

The lighting on #1 is quite harsh and stark. The shadows under the chin are too drastic. Since she is looking right, I would like to see more on that edge.

The smoke in #2 difusses the subjects features. You clipped the end of the coals.

I'm not moved with the hat shot. Do you think the light patterns are an enhancement for your subject?
