Well I am guessing that this will not do well because of the lighting, but I wanted to try somthing different, so here is to a new year.

Good lighting technique. Angle also accentuates the gut.

A little blurry... too much backlighting. Good resolution, though!

i forget the fellow's name but this photo reminds me a little of a portait done of Bill Clinton with a blue background. the photo shows someone embracing their belly which along with their downward gaze creates the connection to being over weight. the lighting suggests a positive outlook completing a connecting to the challenge theme. I think you mostly lose out on technical merit. The arms are blown out and make them look odd. there are purple tinges on the belly and the background doesn't seem quite right.

A good natural shot that depicts a new years resolution for millions. However the bright light behind take away from your picture. It distorts the arms and torso. The purple hue around the hands is very distracting and your composition leads my eyes off the bottom of the picture instead of locking them on your midsection where the subject is looking. I think if this picture would of been taken from a different POV it would of been better. I'm not a fan of blowout highlights and that takes up the majority of the picture. Good luck in the challenge.

Nice lighting and composition. There are places where the it looks a bit odd like around the shoulders, but I think it's a great image. Well done.

Well, not the most visual appealing, but the lighting is interesting. Some my say a bit blownout, but it is well balanced and focus the eye to the reason for the resolution. Good luck on the challenge and weight loss program. HNY

I'm sorry, but that is disgusting. I like the lighting of the shades, though.
