''V'' is not just for Vampire.
I think this shouts for a Vertical framing...
Great to see you worked/played with your model on several ideas.
Time well spent then.

Given that all that grot and effect was added in post processing, I'm really impressed! 
I think the only thing I'd actually change is the corner of her mouth on the right of the image (her left) ... the 'blood' is just a shade lighter than the lippy underneath it, so looks a little translucent and not as 'real' and viscous as it could.
Other than that very minor point, then yeah ... beautifully effective!

Well I'm impressed by your PS work. sometimes it's the way to go, especially if you've one or two images to work on. For a whole batch that'd be too much and you might have to go for plan A after all.
I do like Pablo's suggestion of square or vertical crop, as the landscape format leaves redundant space.
Or you could apply more of a vignette there so the attention is wholly on the face.
Minor concerns

My instinct was to crop as Pablo has done - if you leave space to look past the subject, there's a risk the viewer will - the eyes will slide past the subject to the background...
So I have done a VERY tight crop, leaving out the background completely, and I also darkened the midtones - but then I dodged the teeth...
As for the previous upload, I think you've sharpened this (and not just hte teeth) to within an inch of it life.

I shall not disagree about the issue of negative space. It is there in the original and all the modifications apart dudler's. But the concept of despair is nowhetre more obvious but in dudler's mod. So strong actually that given the skin colour it makes you wonder if she is still alive. Colour tone as in banehawi's mod 3 shows how colour can emphasise horror. They are all interpretations and I am glad you have offered us the opportunity to discuss your image here rather than uploading it on the main gallery. Thank you.
P.S. I can not but imagine mod3 colour in mod5 crop. Kill me.
