Well done Christian. An awesome portrait and well deserved top 10!

I really like this - thought it would do better. I have to admit the soccer ball on the tennis court bugged me and the fact that it technically was not a studio shot - but I wasn't voting and from a purely appreciative value I like it a lot!!

Love the focus and the angle. The trash can behind his calf is distracting; watch the background! The contrast in this image great.

Holy cow! Those are some serious pecs!!!! Beautifully processed, and I can't decide about the vignetting. It does draw the eye to the center, but seems superfluous given the subject... Front page.

The fact that he is not in a studio doesn't bother me, but that he has a soccer ball on a tennis court. ;-)

your studio is really impressing

It's obvious that for the most part you have a great image here, I would have cropped out the light on the right edge and there is something about the area above the bridge of the nose to the forehead that is darker compared to the rest of his face. Nice work

Great image! The vignetting definitely adds to the image, but I think you over did it a little too much, or could have feathered it a bit more.

Great shot! The guy looks so huge, the football in his hand is almost a tennisball. Why did you ppace him on a tenniscourt with a football wearing casual Adidas sneakers?? Anyway - very well done. 8!

I'm a bit confused and unsure how to handle. This is a fantastic full length shot, but does it meet the requirement for a studio shot? After some discussion on the forums, I think I'll not apply my open perception of a "studio" shot and will simply score this as an excellent full length portrait.

Well done. Not only would that work in a modeling portfolio, but also in a catalog or magazine as is. Shows real power and confidence.

By far my favorite shot. I might have cropped out the floating light on the right edge to make it perfect.

nice model and ad-type shot. too bad this is not a studio shot.

Well this is not shot in a studio so I voted it a 2 as it clearly does not meet the challenge as far as I am concerned. Shame, as it´s a good shot, I like the b/w toning.

Nice use of a HDR like effect, and great angle... makes the model look like a giant. This is being picky but why is he holding what looks either like a volleyball or undersized soccer ball wearing running/basketball shoes on a tennis court? You've mixed up quite a few sports there.

Yup!! Love this - expect to see it on the front page!!

Amazing... almost looks like a charcoal sketch - is that what you were going for? I really like it!
