The original has disappeared but my comment on this one would be (purely as an architectural photograph) to remove the vapour trail

I prefer No. 1 (tweaked version), not least for the more flattering skin tone.

Interesting that the bundle price is about £64k more than the individual items

I think that this is a bit like the 'nature' versus 'nurture' debate.

My own view (with regard to photography) is that you need both and the balance will vary.

Going off at a tangent, this is also my view of architecture - it is no use having a brilliantly creative idea if it cannot, for technical reasons, actually be built

Well I would normally stop it down to achieve the best sharpness but I agree that the background needs to be OOF or suitably innocuous.

With the interior shots that have already been taken (indoors by A. N. Other) there is a mass of distracting clutter in the background (in focus) with the subject of the photographs slightly out of focus

I saw the protest girl post and even made a comment on it!! hmmm...
As did I
My missing post asked the OP if he had photographed the armoured car that some protesters had driven into London on that day.

Perhaps all our posts our monitored by some secretive government department

Book cover - head, maximum head and shoulders, outdoors, blurred background, flattering perspective.

ONLY the 50-135. (probably around f3.5/f4)

Good Luck
Presumably the f3.5/f4 in order to achieve the blurred background :
