Which view

[Ptax]

On a recent trip to Baltimore, I took a couple of pictures of this gentleman sitting on a park bench. He asked me for some spare change, which I gave him. He then noticed the police and was worried they had seen me give him the change. The profile shot was taken just as he noticed the police.

Which shot do you prefer, profile or full-face (or neither). What adjustments need to be made?

All suggestions welcomed.

I like your second one better for several reasons -- focus is better, it's a more flattering pose of the gent and his expression is more fitting considering your story. On the first one, his eye looks a little "wonky", it's not a flattering shot of his teeth, and his right ear looks really weird, and you can see the background foliage is or almost is in sharper focus than the gent's face.
