Default Eyes Wide Shut?
Hi,

Can't decide which to print large.
Eyes wide open? Or Shut?
Option C - both stitched together?

She's so cute and just looking at her adorable eyes and expression makes me smile

If you have to pick one, definitely the second. If you want to do both, maybe don't stitch, but crop the top one in closer and stick them in frames one next to the other...

I would place them just like you have now, one at the top and one at the bottom. I love how the different crops show how close she is in the second photos, so I would keep that.

I think they work really well together. Great diptych potential.

If you have to chose take the second one. It's the happier pic.

But as eternity mentioned to frames on the wall or on the shelf would look great I think.

I really like the second one. I just love her expression! When you look at the large version, though, the focus seems to be a little soft, as the camera seems to have focused on the strand of hair in front of her face with her eyes and face falling out of focus. If you are planning on a large print you may want to touch that up in PSE. Great pictures, though!
