thanks. i did a better exposure the next day, but i could never quite duplicate the composition on this one, so i went with this one.

Exposure is a bit hot on the left arm - good interpretation of the challenge

I like the "curves" this presents, and the overall presentation. While I like that theh bluish/purple gives it a "seductive/nighttime" feel, at the same time it makes me feel like his circulation is bad! haha. karmat

interesting portrayal of pride. well done, though. nice tone to the photo as well. I can't make up my mind if its in full color or just toned. either way its a neat effect. ~mcmurma

a bit too bright on the back, and I wish the tattoo was on the other side...otherwise it's an awsome photo...great contrast :) 9

excellent job with the lighting... the shadows cast in this image do a great job of highlighting the form... - setzler

this is really nice work. i love the comp. and framing and the lighting really sets off the mood and makes for some really nice shadows. i have been going back and forth on the background but have finally decided that i dig it--the texture compliments the smoothness of the the skin very well! 9--alecia

Very nice - I love the use of light and shadows. I would have asked the model to take of that necklace though - the nature of it degrades the mood of the photo. 9 mcrael

I like the hues in this shot. it has some nice lighting and shadow effects working for it too.
10/15/2002 03:43:00 PM
ever tried a lil more creativity or originality, effort, composition..????
10/15/2002 03:10:00 PM
nice tones and curves ;) 7-photosbyayme

I do not like the purple color in this photo. I feel that a more natural color would have been more effective. - 5

I like it...says it all without showing all
10/15/2002 02:39:00 AM

Nice hubris (yes, i mean hubris :P) and composition :) I like the lighting but wonder if it couldn't be tweaked a little to smooth out the skin...maybe a little oil..just enough to reflect...not enough to look like greasy chicken. The form speaks for itself without the distracting textures. Is that horizontal shadow across the top from a barbell? 8 Lisa (de-crypticated)

well composed, interesting lighting. I think a levels adjustment would improve the image. 8 Zeiss
10/14/2002 07:22:00 PM
stronger coloring management would have given the image a greater impact.
10/14/2002 07:13:00 PM
Qwll lighted. I personally would have liked it better in B&W. BUT, I understand its a personal taste... 7/10
10/14/2002 05:50:00 PM
Very nice. Is the over exposure on the left edge of the body intentional? I like it. :-) 8 kathleenm

Nicely lit
10/14/2002 05:46:00 AM
I would like to have seen sharper focus, but I like the composition and lighting, and feel that the shot does convey self pride. You also have an actual person in your shot, which, based on what I have seen so far, makes me want to automatically rate you much higher! lhall

Strange crop, color and light. I don't dislike it. Good luck.
10/14/2002 03:09:00 AM
Great tones, I like the blueish color treatment. Nice composition and great lighting. Top ten for me.
10/14/2002 01:57:00 AM
WOOHOO!! Lookin a little smurfy, but I like the pose! ~indigo

Very good tones, and I like your decision to go with the blue composition.
