Hey Brian!

Nice shot this.

As a suggestion I think I would keep the subject of #2 and the background of #1 maybe and see if I liked that combination. I think the somewhat de-saturated BG of #1 would really lift the subject.

Was there a specific something or other you wanted to do with it?

First edit and B&W are great

[Shadowman]

I think it looks scarier in B & W.

if nothing else this is helping me to expand my pp skills.
