You have more experience than I do, so OP should probably go with your opinion. A lot of things are just personal preference, but if you think her ears will stay in proportion and look more pointed when properly groomed, then I will graciously concede to your expertise.

One pic of each is really not enough to make a good judgement on anyway. I just thought the first one's ear itself had a more rounded look to it (not just the hair sticking away from it) and seemed larger. Strange that she cut the face hair and left more hair on the ear tips. The second one, you can see the triangular shape of the ear tip. That is what I have been shown to look for and have seen in my own pup. My Ben had big-ish ears, although nicely triangular. His personality and build won me over regardless. I just made sure to get a female with small, dainty ears to compliment and all their puppies wound up with very nice ears.
