I think the other photo you posted with you in front of the fence was better than these. Hey, you asked.

Thanks! i edited the pic again to remove the rough skin on the top right of my head and the hanging hair on the bottom left of my chin.

EDIT: I just edited again to add a larger light reflection on my eyeball.

I like this one so much better, including the out of focus background. I now see you as the main subject as opposed to the cigarette and guitar.

Nice. Can you darken the fence over your right shoulder, the right side of your face, your neck and your chin? And as before, ditch the cigarette. I'd also include a little more negative space next to your right elbow for better balance with the right side of the picture...

This one's nice too and even as a non-cigarette guy, it's not so obnoxious in this shot since it's very much out of the way. Still better without it (I think) and I think this could be improved if you moved your framing to the left to remove the claustrophobic crowding at your elbow, and allow the headstock to be closer to the opposite edge instead.

I like the halo effect going on over you too, especially if you could lighten the upper part of your face a little where your hat is casting shadow.

The B/W on post 52.

Thanks guys for the ♥️ and the criticism.

I like the black and white, but the cigarette has to go big time.
