More of a smiley version Smile Desaturated too. I know the wall is a little dirty, but in this case I don't really mind it. Gives it an outdoors look, I think...

I prefer this one...coz it's got more of an edge with the goofy-teef and facial expression, etc. I'd crop some of the wall away on the right as it's a bit too much and tone down the white T-Shirt somewaht coz it's too bright.

From a color and tone standpoint, I prefer this one better. Nothing wrong with a little dirt on the wall, but the brickwork really shows the lens distortion. It looks like the wall is wrapping around the subject, or he's causing it to buckle. (And he just doesn't look like he weighs enough to cause the wall to cave in. Smile ) Also, this perspective makes it look like the bottom right hand corner falls away for hundreds of feet.


I'm a little out of my league here in terms of offering suggestions, other than a wide angle focal length can make this more pronounced. So perhaps stepping back and zooming in will give you a similar frame with less of the vertigo effect from the brick lines. Maybe not. Ha! How's THAT for wishy-washy advice?
