Well, blatantly obvious that I didnt have any boobies on the picture so it didn't quite score as well as I would have thought.

I am second placed in the "Does not contain boobs" section and I am satisfied with that.

Thanx to all that commented!

---------------------------------------

Thanx to Robert Traustason for being my model this week.

I had such a hard time choosing the right image and I don\'t think I chose the right one yet but I gave up.

Lets see how this does. I will be pretty flabbergasted if it goes top 10 but it would be fun :)

great image. It's probably my favorite male photo in the challenge. The lighting is quite well done. Good Luck

Cool idea! Great skin texture. On my aging LCD monitor, the feet don't look connected to the rest of the body unless I tilt the monitor. If it's not just my monitor, then I'd suggest a slightly lighter background would have helped, by providing a subtle outline connecting the feet and upper body.

I like the subtle lighting of the feet. Cool shot.

I can't help but notice that this was shot slightly from the left. The feet don't line up and the lighting is different, which ruins the symmetry. Other than that very impressive. Love the tone and the texture.

looks weird without a head.
02/02/2007 02:45:53 PM
I like this lighting and exposure. I also like the symmetry and composition. The focus and detail is great, and I like the interesting shadows of the muscles.

This doesnt really work for me
Image seems noisey

i love the lighting just on the back feet, it really makes this shot

Good lighting and interesting pose/composition. I think it's interesting to note that your title fits this pose perfectly, but if the model were to drop his head, the image could take on an entirely different meaning.

Great shot, let down by the burning thats been done here. You can see the `brush strokes` in between his hands. Not sure if my monitor is calibrated wrong, but it detracts from the image for me..

this is one of the images that stands out in the thumbnail overview. looks good in the bigger size too.

a little more light at his feet might have worked better for me.

like the sepia tone. bottom side of body is too dark. this would have been so much better with his head in the image
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice perspective in the photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/30/2007 12:18:04 PM
Great direction of light an interesting perspective. I love this idea! I wonder: Did you intend for his feet to be so dark? I would like to see a little more light on his feet for clarity.. just like his shoulders. But that's just my opinion. Great image! I like the light on his left (veiwer's right) hand most of all.

Great angle and well composed. Nice use of light and shadows!

I keep coming back to this to try and figure out what it is that keeps me from scoring it high. I think I figured it out....I would really like it if his head was down showing the top of his head and the top outline of his shoulders/neck with blackness above it. Right now, the leading lines of the arms and the brighnes of this shoulders and collar bone draw my eyes up to the top and out of the frame where I am looking for the rest. You need something (black border) to keep the viewers eyes in the picture.

good use of shadow
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very nicely done. I love the editing, really gives the skin a golden feel some how.The only thing I am not sure of is your choice of where to crop out the head, I am not sure if showing a very tiny part of the chin is a good idea or whether it would have been better to include more or none at all? I'm just not sure!

I love the way you see the feet barely lit in the background. COOL positioning.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/29/2007 09:55:45 AM
great tones (talking photographically and physically now) - and I love this composition with the feet being almost abstracted in the distance.9

WOW, I love this image. Great perspective and lighting. I wish there was a tiny bit more light on the stomach and legs, and I'd like to see the face. Fantastic. 9
