This is a fantastic picture. What would an ape space habitat look like?

I'd say it's an improvement, except that his head no longer separates so clearly form the background.

This is fun and I like how his head contrasts with the background. But I feel like his facial features get lost just a little bit. I actually like the lighting on the original one a bit more - I feel this one is a bit too dark in key areas that need to be read clearly. I do like his facial structure better in this one though (a little more prognathic and less "jowl"y). I understand that the light source is coming from behind but I could see you pulling out some of the facial features a little more with some subtle lighting. In the preview of this image, you can't see his eyes at all. If there's a way to do that without subtracting from the richness I think you're set.
That, and the air puff is gone! I liked that, it gave you the sense of chilly-ness.
Overall though Genna, great piece! I wish I had an 1/8th of your talent.
