Support with preference for Alt. Excellent potrait. Shame they placed the paper backdrop so close behind her, it's a little distracting to be honest! But other than that, the lighting and composition are good. I'd probably have cropped it a bit tighter around the left and right sides for a square frame though.

Weird left eye (her left); if the photographic jargon of "weird" is too technical for you, I mean the iris and pupil are noticeably stretched vertically and it appears to have a line down the sclera; if anybody says that's my eyes making it look weird I will cry (but only one extra long tear from my weird elongated left eye).

The first one is totally the same picture as the second one with the background cut out, but I don't see anything so weird in that one (if anything I'd say her right eye was bigger there).

I agree, I don't think her eye looks weird in those pic, but it definitely does in the original. Hmmm. Does this change my vote? I like the image but it definitely seems digitally manipulated. But why would someone warp her eye like that?? Could be an accident that nobody noticed...

After thinking about it, I think I know. She was probably squinting slightly in her other eye and the Photoshopper decided to stretch it open slightly. You can see that it's slightly softer than the surrounding area which suggests it's been smeared. It's a pretty minor error in the grand scheme of things so I don't think it changes my vote, but it's disappointing that they did such a bad job of it.

Note: Re her left eye/pupil, such may result from trauma to optic nerves – as I can attest due to a nasty bike crash three years ago.

Comment. As per my comments above, I think the eye has been digitally manipulated. I decided to 'Be Bold' and try to reverse what's been done so I'll overwrite both the original and alt with my edit.

OK, I've uploaded over the top of both images. It looks reasonably normal to me. Probably not quite as good as if it wasn't messed around with in the first place but meh.
