the first one is good, but i'm not a fan of that dead center composition.
the second is really cool, the lighting looks wonderful. great job on the b/w.
my only gripe about both of them is the frame. i don't find it attractive at all and i think the shots would be more powerful without them. that logo or whatever in the bottom right corner is also pulling my eye away from the picture.
Thanks Binghott, You might be right about the frame ...

About the frames... I think You'll understand when visiting my homepage . In the future I'll try to make them without the frames, when posting on the photography forums ...
Here is a suggestion on a different crop. If you would prefer I don't modify your shots I'll remove it.
I think this crop really highlights the wonderful detail and expression in the man's face. This shot is hard to draw your eyes away from. I like the 2nd one of the hands, too...great series.

nice crop salazar!
antonjo- i see what you're saying about the framing on your photoblog, it works there, but not as much out of that format. also, i think your little half eye logo is too small to recognize what it is. it looks like half a cd.
i think those pics both ROCK! i'm SUCH a sucker for BW...especially when shot at high ISO like it appears you did. you picked a great subject to shoot, as it REALLY gives the shots character. thanks for posting these!
