What do you think of these, Comments are appreciated. This was an attempt at my poor photographer's studio. But then treated a lot with photoshop.

I would really appreciate the comments.

The light on his face in the first shot is good, another light shot towards the backdrop would white it out and create some nice lines. Muck around with it .... you're doing good thus far!

Although, you may want to boil that sheet before having someone else sit their bare-a** on it ;-)

P.S. you could always just IRON it.....I know....scaaary lol

Yep but i'm waiting for the new sheets to arrive. i'll have a black and a white one with a better type of material so this is just to have fun for the moment but thanks for the comment. Seems like people are to much of commenting lately. :(

OK. Answer some questions first, please. What do you like about the pictures? What were you trying to get from them? Do you feel you accomplished your goal? Give us something more than this is me in my studio with wrinkled sheets.
This might help people come up with good suggestions and help them understand what areas you are concerned with or might want to improve on.

I've just started with studio shoots. I was tring to play around with the lighting, but don't really know if i got it right on the hand picture. For the nude one i was just trying new poses and for the first time a nude shoot. I was trying to get a dreamy effect but not really show anything, just to give the glamps of nude. The portugues photo was to give infase to the portugal letters, like beign a soccer player pointing to his number in this case portugal. or a oportugeus soccer fan. Or just show out the place that i identify myself.

The one of the shirt is pretty good. Did you add the zoom effect because it was blurry? The color would be enough to isolate the word. I'd crop off the light part on the bottom.
The middle picture. The ratio of the lighting is much to high and it brings out those wrinkles pretty good. But I suspect that wasn't what you were going for. The pose has no meaning. Your profile is interesting with that lighting. To blur out the background, step away from it at least 5 or 6 feet, 10 would be better. I'd love to see a close up of your profile with the lights set up the same way as this one.
I like the first one the most, except for the zoom effect and the wrinkled sheet. You can ps that out with very little effort.
Do you have more than one light? You might want to invest in another. So far you are doing ok. All you have to do is fiddle around with the lights, place them in different positions, closer and futher away, left side, right side, in front.

i like the first one the best, and i also kinda like the wrinkled sheets but the shirt is a bit distracting, shirtless would be a good idea (but thats mostly for me :P), the third one is just funny

also i think the first one could be cool if you just cut yourself out of it completely and put it on a all white shot with similar composition, maybe you could sit on the border of the pic or something without the blur (just a suggestion)

Looks more like that shoudl say Plumber on it instead. Looks like major plumbers crack! (C: Good use of the zoom blur though, and the desat.
