If you really want my honest opinion...

I like the quality,tone and pose of the top image.But I do not like the 'one breast' part of it.It just looks strange to me.Forgive me for saying so,but it almost looks like she's had a mastectomy to me...Wish I felt differently,because it really is a fine shot.

In the second one,you have a fine capture,as well.The skin tones look lovely,and her pose is cute and engaging.But I agree.The 'blacks' are too close.I can see the difference,but it is still too close in tone to make an effective compo,IMHO.And while this 'one breast' image looks less like a mastectomy to me,I'm not fond of her dress...Perhaps a gauzy white toga...or something more elegant like that...

Just MHO.Hope that's okay.
