Like I always say....I never expect anyone to fully agree on ANYTHING...
But...I would like to help you if I can.
Of the two images, I prefer the second.
Why?
Look carefully at the mouth of the man. Of course the mouth of the woman is NOT shown in the first image, so in the first image the \"key\" expression comes solely from the man. Concentrate solely on the MAN for a moment.
Notice the \"turn of his lips.\"
Now look at the second image.
Notice that in the second image his lips are forming a very subtle \"smile\" that is NOT seen in the first image. The first has more of a \"lower lip protrudes\" expression that is seen with the \"furrow\" of his brow (look between eyebrows) as \"concerned\" type of thinking expression. At least...that is how \"I see it.\"
In addition, of course, there is the obvious smile on the face of the mother (that is seen in #2 but NOT in #1).
All other things considered \"equal\" I find the #2 image MUCH nicer to view than the #1 image.
I hope that helps you.
