I have 100's of portraits so I thought I would try something different.

Can understand you trying something different its always worth a go, personally I prefer it to be swimming towards me so you have that eye contact others may think different though, he does look a little lost soul hope he makes it

It was worth a try, David, but I think the second one is far better.

I think that the first is way, way more interesting. It provokes thought and feeling. Somebody has already said that the little fellow looks lost and I think you could have used other ideas to enhance that impression such as, perhaps, making it smaller in the frame for example. The second image is fine too, but it's pure chocolate box in comparison. Like your thinking.
