What you guys think of my Dark and Moody look attempts?

[Jmesparza05]

Took millions of tries to finally get a look that I like and I'm proud with the final results.

If you are pleased then that’s good. When something turns out how you imagined it, then I would found that as a win.
as you asked for cc the I like the re edit.

Nicely done with the re-edit!

Same shot, same look, same pose, same problems...Most immediate is zero separation with the background in the "re-edit" as posted. If anything #2 is better but still lacking. Why not just b&w #1? Bring better here and get more, OK?
