Artist's Comments

Help me decide which of these two stay and which of thes two go. I worked for awhile on these and just couldn't make up my mind so maybe you can help. Besides the muted color difference there is a bit of a cropping difference as well.

This is absolutely beautiful. The colors are fantasitc. It is grainy, but I don't think that hurts anything. If anything, it makes it more painterly. I can't get enough of his expression... tender, but so sad. It reminds me of a Sigur Ros music video that I adore

I personally prefer this one over the other, the tighter crop loses some of his funky hair. The smoke looks less like its a part of his shoulder too. The shadows in this one appeal to me more also - more clearly defined over his eyes and the back of his face in particular. Though I do prefer how his eyes look on the other one, the more muted colours really define those beautiful lashes. I'm having a subtle day today so I'd say the red from the 2nd one would look better on this one - it's very bold otherwise. Hope my $0.02 helps ;)

I'm liking this one better. His tan contrasts so well with the blue, and you lose that in the other one where his color is slightly desaturated.

you should post the two next to each other like one image so it is easier to compare and contrast and ultimately come up with a final answer.

I have to say that I like the colours on this one much better than the other. I prefer the way that they stand out.
nice photograph anyway you slice it though. ;P
