I agree with Michele. The left photo makes a better reference for your work. In fact, i can also see that you're attempting to change the posture using the photograph alone. Without adequate study of the reference, chances are the composition might look "off". Using paintshop, i sorta put in some lines to help you correct those postures - i hope Michele and fellow forum artists can help point out any mistakes i made have made here.
Another technique to get it right is by having someone, who's about the same build as your client, to pose for you just to get the right posture.
