Great framing. The first thing I always focus in on is the eyes. This shot has great eyes. Good range, good use of negative space. Nice, very nice photo. Good luck.
This is a tough one. I like what you were approaching here with the framing of the subject, but it feels awkward. Like I'd rather see more of his other eye, or not even a hint. I'd imagine you struggled with this because to frame it tighter would then come into his nose and mouth more. Hmmm. Glad it was you that had to decide! :D Other than that it's technically well done overall - maybe a touch warm on the cheek exposure wise. Good detail and clarity. Overall, well done. Good luck in the challenge.
