Makes sense. I like it better - it "feels" more like me, I guess.

But it's a very, very different shot from the old one. Hair up instead of loose; contacts instead of glasses; more of the body so further back from the face; three-quarters instead of full face.

I think that's part of why I like it. I chose the other because it was "okay" and it was soft and pleasant. But this feels like me.
