Joshua.. #2 is a great image................ and i like it!
But.. #1........... oh my God............. it doesn't get any better my friend!
This one shows so much of his character and everything about this photographs screams quality.
He is one man I'd love to meet........... and you have conveyed that interest in him in your portrait.
Astounding image!

Good shots there. #2 is not for me. I prefer to pull the detail of the face and maintain for older gentlemen. Looks like you hit up with woody's technique and to me that is only best on women.
