I shot a portrait session for a local Eye Doctor that is getting an award for serving the community. Her portrait is going to be published along with an article about her and her award in the various newspapers in my area.
Can you please help me choose which one would be better for the Newspaper? She is leaving it up to me (the "expert"

) and I just can't decide.
I find multiple things wrong in each photo and I would just love to do a reshoot, but I don't think that is an option. I tend to be very hard on myself in my search for perfection.
Please help. The Sitting pose or the standing pose?
Any other critiques are also appreciated.
Thanks!!!
Ed
