I did not know which one to post as I like both, but my darker side likes the first one !

Definitely the first one for me, Lorna. I really like this a lot. One thing I will suggest though, is to clone out the water drops in and near her left eye. Her expression is priceless.

Nicely done!

Thanks Preston.
I was on the fence about the drop in her eye ,but in the end decided to leave it as the catch light in the eye was so faint . It made for an anchor point. Still on the fence about though !

Definitely the first for me too. The hand and the deep shadows really bring forth the mystery and almost foreboding of the image. I agree with Preston about the drop on her eye. Really nice work!

I too like the first, for all the reasons mentioned above. It's a much stronger composition, and the use of light is much better.

Excellent, expression on her face really makes this.
Agree with Preston on the drop in the eye.
