Great work man! I saw a couple of your bloodsport submissions, I'm a fan. Keep pushin it.
In that last piece with the submarine, CoreyK is right that it looks better with the close up, because it focuses more on the characters and the image feels more balanced on all sides. In the zoomed out version you have all of the characters in the very middle of the composition and blank space all around it. The center has too much weight and the rest is kind of empty which makes for a less powerful image. There's still a lot you can do with that zoomed out version to make it work. You just have to figure out what you want to add to the other area's to help balance the entire composition.
To me it looks like the main characters in the image are the two guys in a fight. The girl character almost seems unnecessary. You could add some atmospheric perspective on her so that the image really does focus on those two characters. You could even play around with the main characters' placement (maybe bring the guy in the blue jacket a bit up more) just to make things a bit more exciting or even by twisting the camera view a bit more. Anyway, just some thoughts.
Great work!
