i havent been on the forum that long, but your work seems to have come on leaps and bounds since i first joined, have to agree with danalec these are some of the best.

two very minor comments...

1. maybe a tiny bit more light catching the features on the first

2. he needs to cut his nails!!! long nails on blokes is not right

the first photo... the head looks a little unnatural/ too posed.
the second shot is more interesting... I liked it Sepia toned, as the pen has a retro loo to it.

I love the first photo Arti! It is so amazing and I think the ebst you've done! And I agree with a nails!!! long nails on a bloke is rather gay style!!!

I like the first one a lot. I think the texture on the book competes too much with the face, which needs more light. Maybe try it with the book open more (but not so white pages show too much to the camera/viewer), this would decrease the amount of texture, and the open book would act as a reflector to light some of the face.

Good point!
