Good DOF, the background is blurred, but you can still see what is going on.

I tell you any man that works out like this would adore a photograph of this quality to hang on their wall so they could admmire themselves some more. Fantastic tones and contrast on the conversion and an excellent 3d feel about it bump to 7

why must you use the word "candid"?

The title sucks...

Photographically speaking however, excellent comp, excellent light, great texture, excellent tonal value, does not convince me that this is truly a candid, it looks set up. As a photographer, it is your job to be convincing.

Over all, I predict this picture to be in the top 20.

The man is staring right at the camera. Not candid.

He looks so damn pleased with himself. Probably got a PhD in astrophysics or something ...
