I prefer the second pose. It is graceful. Experiment with the position of the head next time you try it. With direct eye contact the expression becomes important. Few models have enough experience to do perfect expressions on demand. If the light permits instant exposures, try to capture her in relaxed and natural expressions. This works best when an enjoyable relationship between model and photographer seems more important at the moment than the photo shoot.
