I agree with you about the photos, Russ: #3 is indeed striking. The word "tosser", however, has a different meaning, at least in England, to that which you intended (one indulging in what used, quaintly, to be called "self-abuse").

Just so you know...

Neptune seems more like a record shot, whereas the angel has use of depth of field to give the angel some pop and interest - it's more like it's a model and you've added creativity with the depth of field and focus point. I agree that some more detail in the face would be nice.
