Why would you make a B&W picture and leave three yellow lights in the background that have nothing to do with the subject? Distracting and unnecessary.

If you want to pull the viewer by the nose away from the girl, along the converging lines to the high-contrast area with the yellow lights, then #1 is very effective at doing so. The question is, why would you want to do that? I assume this is a portrait of the girl. So I'd say #2.
Thanks for the input guys, I suspected the choice would be number 2, I liked both of them, with regard to #1 I was probably just a bit too enamored with the bokeh of the lights, and hence some ridiculous internal need to highlight them...
Loved working with this model - some beautiful shots beyond this one that I may post too...
