Playing at the park

[IVAN ZEITLIN]

I want to give my sister one of these in a frame photo for her birthday which one is better?

Def the first one, Ivan. A nice portrait with the boy smiling and making a good connection with the camera. That and holding the kite is a memorable moment thats worthy of a nice frame.
The other shot is not a very good moment, but rather a sorta in between glance that does not really have much impact, imo. Also, the lighting in that second one is strange and almost eerie in a way.
