Needs better lighting for sure. I think that would help a lot at creating a more crisp shot with clearer more vibrant colors.

Oh dear, I'll never be able to think of trinity the same way again. = )
Just kidding. For what it is, it's well done. I particularly like how the sky is overcast in the background with what looks like stormy weather on the way. It's a nice change from the norm. This is probably one of the few shots I could actually see as making it onto a magazine cover. However, I think this style of photograph has a limited extent of artistic accomplishment, no matter how well you do it. (By that I don't mean nude or errotic photography, I mean cover girl straightforward pose cheesecake photography). So... how about a 7.

Male Fitness

I doubt we'll ever see anything this artistic on the cover of men's fitness, but people are telling me the same thing about my shot, and I've decided I'm not interested in shooting magazine cover styled shots anyway, so I'm not penalizing for overly artistic shots on anyone else's either. I think this is a great shot, and it does fit your magazine quite well. The lighting and shadows are excelent, I like how only the form of his face is visable, and we don't see his actual face. And those muscles show quite nicely. Great work. 9

I don't know why you went with a square crop on this one. The sides don't seem to add anything to the shot, and those trees that show up a little detract from the composition. It is a good subject and an interesting photo, but I'd have gone with a tighter crop.

The idea of having a vase of flowers outdoors is an interesting one, but this photo ends up without much visual "oomph". I think it would help if it were a little lighter, and perhaps if the background was a bit more interesting.

I like the lens distortion.. but that right side feels awfully empty.

I like the grid-like appearance of the left hand pillars.

It needs some better lighting, but I do like the concept.. I thought about similar ideas as an interpretation of the matrix.. A dream world pulled over our eyes to keep us happy...

I like the harsh contrast and the black and white with only hints of color showing, although perhaps a green focus color would have been preferable to the blue... although I do see tha tyou worked green into the rest of the piece nicely.
