Not a big fan of color selection but #2 is a really cool picture..I love the concept and the composition....It is easy on the eyes, very enjoyable and fun to view.

as for the rest....watch out for small compositional errors like cutting off limbs or appendages. Also you are in dire need of some fil light. The composition is way off in 1 though, i feel like you want me to view the wall and not him. Also what time of day did you shoot, the lighting looks a bit harsh.

I know some of it is rough to hear, but with practice you will get better. These things will become second nature for you to look out for...GOOD JOB! Keep practicing!

I am working on it thanks for the info, and yes it was the middle of a very sunny day. You are right I was trying to take away from him, he is not a very good model, but I had to work with what I had.
