I took the liberty of linking your images because they depict the same individual.

Both shots could benefit from cropping. Only you and the editors have the option of viewing the full-size image. Everyone else is left looking at a little bug in a lot of unnecessary background. :)

 
Ken - Thanks for the comme

Thanks for the comments. I wasn't aware of the restrictions in viewing full sized images. I did some initial cropping, but I can resubmit at full size. I don't remember seeing a "link" option. Did I miss it when I uploaded the photos?

You can link shots of the same individual...
...by uploading the first image and then clicking the "add image" link under the photo (not the one at the top of the page) to upload additional views.
