I find the first one interesting, strong contracting texture, brick wall to skin tones.

one thing that does bother be, it the strong shadow to the rear, perhaps avoidable with off camera flash (did you have flash on camera, and hold shutter release side to ground?). perhaps hand held flash, camera left...

Hi Oz, yes I used flash, and it was the flash on my camera, its all I have to work with at the moment.

With the second one I would have been tempted by B&W to avoid the sunburnt neck. Also, get him to remove the bangle if you can, it is distracting where the necklace is interesting. IMO.

I like the muted colours and "dark' look of the male model. That's a style that appeals to me. Rembrandt also liked that style.

Ok, normally I would have removed both the necklace and the bracelet, but I have to be honest, I was kinda distracted

I can usually switch off when behind the lens, but this time dammit I couldnt
