Hi Dave,

I like the first shot, the colours and tone look good.
The second shot has potential, but it looks to me as if the face is OOF. If this was deliberate, then I think it would be better if the face was more obviously so, as my eyes keep getting drawn to the face which is almost in focus.

Thanks for your comments folks. The second photo is, I guess more of a demonstration of selective colouring than portraiture.

Cheers

I love the first one, too!

Selective coloring is hard to really come across...I think you did well with the tattoo. Good job.
