Sasha, The first shot is great, the second is very good. It never ceases to amaze me how pretty young girls want to gritty, not pretty! The first shot does a bit of both, the 2nd is less flattering.

Re: Double peso - something slightly different
Your daughter has a feel for high drama. These are really good. The intimacy of the first seems to overpower the second but not really on reflection. They're just different aspects of the same thing.
