Cindy,
Number three is the winner, but here are some suggestions for future shots. Try to make the lighting come from the side. slightly in front of the subject and slightly above as well. This will provide good definition to facial planes. This has been a portrait secret since the time of Vermeer or earlier. When the light source is slightly behind the subject as in your other photos, it tends to make the facial planes "flat" and therefore hard to paint.
