The reason I like the second one is because
the eyes and nose look better, you flipped the image ?? Yes. In the first one the nose and eyes just don't look balanced to me. But the second one they do. Being a trained nurse and having worked with eyes a lot, both nursing after operations and also during them, I sort of picked up a lot of things about eyes and relative to nose. Think of squints, where the eyes turn in, instead of looking balanced. Does that make sense to you, it does to me, but then it is my brain I am dictating from.
