    the 'models' are interesting, however both shots are seriously underexposed. On the second shot - the right side of the background is both distracting and practically merges with the face.

    I love the first shot! I don't see that it's badly underexposed, but maybe that's my rookie eye. I find the look on the man's face very interesting, as well as his dark skin vs. the clear blue ocean & sand. The 2nd one I don't find as interesting. I'm distracted by his glasses and not being able to see his eyes.

    I agree with rundadar that your models are interesting.

    I don't at all agree that the first shot was underexposed; I feel that brigher exposure would have destroyed the play of light and shadow of the photo, an artistic decision that might have allowed more emphasis on the model's face- but at high cost. I love the composition of this shot with regard to shape and shadow, and I love the sense of colour captured in the photo.

    The second model was even more interesting than the first, but I can see how technical challenges here threaten the artistic integrity of the photo, despite the creditable choice of Model and Moment. The light and shadow is interesting here too, but between shadow and spectacles, more has been lost with respect to the model's facial expression.

    And I agree that the bokeh on the right hand side leaves much to be desired.

    Still, I leave the photo intrigued, so I guess it could be said to have achieved its purpose, eh?
