2nd one gives me a 'i want a better life, i wana go to america to live my dream' feeling
i like 2nd one better. goes better with what you're trying to portray

if that's even what you're trying to say `-`


it be nice though.

First one looks much better, original, and the black and white gives a lot more thought about the picture, at least for me.

yeah the first one is definately better :)

the out of focus thumb bothers me a bit, maybe crop some of it out.
