Well - may I suggest you try thinking with your clothes on? It's a bit warmer.
Nice tones. Composition bothers me a bit with too much dead space top right. Your back is cropped too tight. I'd have burned back the glare from your front arm.

Comment by srbrubaker:
I like this photo much; it captures the spirit of a man with a distinctive face (didn't I see this man carrying a box in the 'pain' challenge?)

I know that I am on the lunatic fringe, but I like the contrast of the original - or at least I'd end up with it closer to the original version than to Mike Owen's. Mike Owen's cropping job seems to improve the photo considerably. It solves a number of problems and puts the emphasis right where it belongs.

This is a very tasteful nude, I think that black and white works really well here (10)

Comment by terje:
great concept, however I find it a little too harsh on the lightning, also a little under exposed for my taste. but it's 100% honest and that counts a lot. well done 8

Nice B&W. Good range of tones and an interesting composition. (watch out for splinters)

Um...I'm not sure if you know this, but this has to be one the best bird photos in existence!

It is absolutely perfect as far as the exposure and moment goes! I love it!

Thanks for your help Mike :) looks grea, and as for the USM, the eyebrows are really that wirey!

Comment by MikeO:
Hi Andy - Like the photo, he looks quite a character! Anyway did not do much but thought it had maybe a bit too much contrast so I cropped it and dropped the contrast and brightness down a fair bit and here is the result. Maybe I have overdone the usm a bit??
