I like the first one a lot. the timing and shutter speed were perfect. I'm not too much of a fan of the second one, though. I think the lighting is not right and the subject is too centered.

Im also more a fan of the first one than the 2nd one - for the reason of the lighting, the second shot seems somewhat unatural

I like the first one for it's show of power and the detail in each muscle on both of them, and the facial expression definitely isn't one you can get if you tried. I think it's just a great photo with the lighting, too.

#1 makes me cringe!!! Wonderful capture! The lighting and the detail in this photo is awsome!

The second make me feel like everything is centered on this man! I love how the spotlight is shining on him!! Feeling of excitement is what I got when I looked at the photo the first time!

Like them both. I'd crop some of the bottom off the second tho.
