The lessons on squinting are very valuable and thorough. I've never heard it explained so thoroughly. Thanks so much. These are my attempts at squinting.

This look nice. The first image looks the most balanced. Using the hat to frame the face a bit is a good idea.

I would never have used this photo. hope you watch the lesson on this. But you did great with what you had to work with. Not good light at all.
