I know what you mean. But what if you sharpened the head a bit but left the body softer? I wonder if it's just because we're programmed to see/expect to see the head, especially the eyes, sharp.
But you go to admit - the two posed like that in the first one, makes it a real beauty. I'd get rid of that little light strip right at the top.

Nice shots, Mark. I agree with the points discussed by Donald. You have a good eye for composition. Even your frame border helped the image look better. Good work!
