This was my favorite in the challenge. Very calm and melancholic, wonderful dark light.
Congrats on the photo (the score is ridiculous of course but who gives a damn about scores anyway) and keep it up!

He actually looks quite uncomfortable. The arm is not hanging in a natural position.

Like the darkened room concept.

I like the natural lighting here... but although nicely lit it's lacking in composition and orignality...

I like the idea of the darker shadowy areas, maybe if the couch had been lighter colored this would have worked better

This would have been a much better picture with a better setting. The couch and floor take away from the overall image. I think cropping out those elements, as well as the lower legs would have made a much better image. It is pretty good usage of natural light though.

I know how hard a shot like this is...I think I tried it for a previous nude challenge. You almost had your light in the right place. Probably should have placed the remote for the camera in the opposite hand though.

At first glance I wasn't able to see much definition in the model's body. When I looked at the photo from a slightly different angle I was able to see the hand resting on the floor and the position of his head. This could be the fault of my monitor but I wonder if the impact of this shot would be stronger if the lighting was more dramatic/intense. I also think that a tighter crop on the top and right would be a better composition for my taste.

The Lighting and exposure is perfect. Nicely done

very good.

Just a tad too dark for me, plus it looks like the right hand has been amputated.

I'm distracted by the arm hanging down.

Made me stop to contemplate a little more. I'd like to see a little more work on the body itself to bring it out a touch more.
