Kidding, right? I just wonder how many people would have given Heida's Angel a 10 if it was me with my arms on the rocks standing there. Good looking models add to the beauty of a picture. If it was a 300 pound model it would have gotten humor points for me, but the PULL of the photo would have been different. I tend to vote on emotion and impact the photo makes on me - this one pulls me. A 300 pound guy in the same pose would not do the same.

Maybe if you want to push your creative buttons as an exercise perhaps but that'll just be a tune up for when you shoot a more attractive model because that's what will get the accolades as this contest further illustrates.

thank you for all of the comments, compliments and words of concern. I never expected this shot to do so well. :) Unfortunately, I dont really get to appreciate having a ribbon right now. My world has been reduced to the reality of homelessness and wondering where i might hang out in the process of rebuilding.

Really like this image. I dont have a decent camera as yet but do me a favour would you? I have always wanted to do a nude lit by a starlite along the form of a womans body. Do this for me and you would be my inspiration. Well in fact you are. Thanks for wonderful and provoking images.

What a stunning tribute in photo and words. The shot does not appear sinister to me at all. Maybe mysterious would describe it better for me. I love the softness and the upswing of the eyes. From the nose up, it reminds me of the actor, Elijah Wood.

WOW - this is a great shot no matter the circumstances and knowing that the lighting was low and he was moving, that even makes it BETTER. Darling shot and I love the eyes.
