    clap.gif The first one is so expressive with the muted earth tones.

    I think the lighting in the first is also more prominent, and the bright white of his headcloth and face highlights make him seem like a juxtaposition between divine and humble.

    The first one is fantastic, it really makes a connection with the viewer.

    I think Dgrin is in for a treat with your new SLR! I'm really looking forward to seeing more of your shots with it.

    I'll add my agreement to the rest - the 1st one just really catches him. I like the muted colors, the expression and the slight angle he is turned.

    nice job Awais!
