Mike,
I strongly favor #1 and moved it higher and into the frame a bit more than the photo.(Hope you don't mind) #2 Is very problematic and it would be a shame to pursue something novel when you have such an outanding subject. #3 suggest lots of very classy poses in the same atmosphere but different furniture/props. In this pic the chair becomes the shoulders or the shoulders become the chair. The eyes in #4 would not only be very difficult to paint they start to become surreal.
Wonderful possibilities. Good Luck!
