mommy's heels

i took this photo yesterday of a child in mommys high heels. this was my fav photo out of the shoot. i converted it to B&W and added a border. ive got 2 differnet versions, they are not that much different but i cant decide which i like better...the first one is the original and the second has been sharpened and lightened up a bit with levels. which do you prefer. (FYI-i realize the top back of the shoe is cut off, dont want any other critique besides which photo is more visually pleasing) thank you.

Well looks to me like your not getting many replies so I had hoped to start the ball rolling
Have a lovely weekend Liz.

probably should just stick with the happy medium huh?

Just stick with the second one in the first bunch. The last one the buckle looks odd

I personally like the first one....It's more natural.

thank you both for your opinions thats where im stuck, i like the first one beacause it has this soft natural feel to it but i like the second one because it has a sharp look (im big on contrast lol). i just cant choose one over the other, not to mention ive been looking at them through out the last 24hrs, need a set of fresh eyes!

thank you, pretty much my whole family agrees, and im starting to think everyone is right! its much softer and the harsh contrast of the others really draws your eye TOO MUCH to the leg and not the photo as a whole.
