Jimf - I like your guitar player - that is a nice picture
If you darken the bright windows behind him and his pants at the bottom of the image I think the viewer's eye will stay on his face and the guitar longer - I might edit it slightly like this.....
I like the guitar player. I'd increase the color saturation and
maybe deal with the reflection by darkening it a tad.

You might also consider swapping the guitar for a banjo. :lol

Hi Path, what method did you use to darken parts of this picture.. I'm assuming you selected the areas, but maybe you used another tool??? I cant tell..

I think pathfinder has made some good suggestions concerning the second image.
Have you tried upping the saturation on the first or do you prefer it the way it is?

Those are just the raw images, didn't do anything to them at all. I agree that the first would probably do very well with increased saturation.
