This one takes the opposite approach to the one that I last left a comment on. From the waist up she's bending back, ever so slightly but the position of the arms is taking her away from us and even the way she has her lips slightly parted and her hair, while still down, is not thrusting forward to the viewer the way it is in the other shot. In this one there's no light to separate her from the background but there doesn't need to be, because this time she's merging into it. Artistically I like both of them; viscerally there is something about the other one that I feel makes more of an impact. But I suspect that that's a personal thing, and there will be others who prefer this shot which it must be admitted is the more elegant of the two. The other one is a bit wild, but I just happen to like wild. Others doubtless prefer refinement.
