Default Dark or Sexy?

Hi,

I'm finding it impossible to decide which I like best of these shots.
They are all very similar with slight variations that I think change the whole tone of the image but not necessarily in a bad way.

So, I need help deciding which works best, in a 'caught my attention and love it immediately' kind of way. If that happened for you at all. And if not, why not?

Also any other critique on the pose, or lighting if you can see much of it after the processing, or even on the processing itself, would be much appreciated.

This is my first deliberately posed shoot and I don't know if I did anything right. I had a vague idea that I wanted it to be moody and dark because that's how I was feeling at the time. But I still don't want the model to see it and freak that she looks like a goth about to commit murder. TIA

choosing

EXIF:
Exposure 0.067 sec (1/15)
Aperture f/5.3
Focal Length 40 mm
ISO Speed 400
Flash No Flash


Thanks,
M

Top right has it for me. The skin colour is much more pleasing. I'd still be tempted to mess with levels and get it a little brighter though.

Thanks for the feedback
I wasn't going for a perfect portrait necessarily, which is why I've let the texture overlay the skin and desaturated the 3 of the 4.
