The first one, the focus seems to be somewhere around the figure's shoulder. It might be a bit more effective on the face. The focus on the second one seems spot on, but the wings (especially the one to the viewer's left of the screen) seem rather lost against the dark background. Both images seem a tad dark to me on my (admittedly uncalibrated) screen. But, assuming that you're just sort of "fooling around" and discovering, exploring and playing with features on your new camera, they're fun shots. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
