# 1 interesting lighting and there is a hotspot right on the forehead; focus is a bit soft

#2 too warm, too noisy, too soft

In general, similar to other reviewers' comments:
#1: Too soft, out of focus. Prefer a bit closer to the subject.
#2: A bit too noisy and perhaps too much empty black space on both sides.
Hope that helps.

I can't relate photography to abstract and similar art forms. But I can imagine either of these two styles being displayed in a NewYork museum.

Looks like underexposed OOF images to me. I'm a realist.
