I enjoy the postworked one for same reasons as stated above here many times, because the straight one is just the same old yawn and sleeper snooze one sees plenty here and the painted one peaks interesting wake up value.

The only thing I would add, or suggest, is that if your going to postwork it, change stuff too, or add something, make it totally yours not just partly and add some good old imagination to just a face with hair and eyes.

Unless it's someones portrait or a specific cause. And if you really want to get some attention to this work, paint a naked manhunk or a blond with a big pair of boobs as a reflection in her eyes, as if she is looking at them in a surprised fashion, that will get you lots of hits fer sure, lol.
