These look great. Crop and composition works! Its nice to see good lighting without using expensive strobes.

These have a great mood to em. Reminds me of a private eye detective from the speak easy era. Good work with using what you have and not having to rely on exspensive equipment to get an awesome shot. I'm sure your brother was pleased with the shot as well.

"A great photographer can take great shots with an Iphone but a mediocre photographer can ruin a shot with a 1dsmkIV. My camera is like the brush I paint a house with...I'm just looking for my detail brush, and a roller, and some high gloss paint, and a sprayer, yeah a sprayer would make things easier."

when i was in art school everyone was too gentle with their critiques and sensitive to criticism. if you are truly into learning then you'll respect an honest opinion or reaction to work and learn from the process. i believe a good critique is paramount to learning.

I dont believe i have ever come after someone personally and if i have sorry not my intent

I'm just saying I never see you straight out compliment someone, was just saying I'm shocked.
