I admire the attempt at uniqueness, but the green skin tone (and magenta fringed eye) just don't seem to serve any function or produce a particularly interesting or visually appealing shot.

I really like the framing and the way the hair fills the shot and frames the face. The colors are a problem here though. With some better skin tones (I think it needs some better lighting) this would be an excellent shot.

Self of Self

I do like the idea of a self-portrait of taking a self portrait.. however, the shadow only choice here is a little too rough for me. For this style to work well, I think the framing or some other element would need to make the image more interesting.

I can't see this ever showing up on a playboy cover (but I decided to not take off for that, since I generally don't like the style of photos that do show up on mag covers).

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

Those tree shadows are causing big trouble.

Stuff Magazine - or - Playboy

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
