Hi! Not really a critique because the piece is so technically sound that I think I fried my own brain synapses just to figure out the lighting.
It's just that, comparing to what you got now, something got lost or changed drastically from the first piece. The very first composition has a more somber, defeated look the way the subject is looking down on the object. How the torso is slumped over, how the arm is angled while the hand is resting on the leg really gave that hint that the subject is heavily troubled, and contemplating on something.
While the latest one, with the subject, having his mouth gaped open, back straight, a hand gesture that's indicating discovery and wonder, has a more positive mood. Probably the yellow light helped push towards that mood.
Regardless whether the change is intentional or not, I dig them both.

If you are reading this, I most likely just gave you a crappy crit! What I'm basically trying to say is, don't give up!
