Very well lit and posed! The muscle definition and skin texture is just right. I'm not sure he needs that much empty space above his head, and the black frame against the nearly black background doesn't really help. But this is still my favorite of the male nudes. 9 |

08/26/2005 09:19:57 PM |
The composition is very good and complements the model. I like the the light on the background but there doesn't seem to be quite enough to get good separation in some areas like the legs and the arms or perhaps this is because the contrast was adjusted to much. I don't think the border was needed. To me, it looks like something is in the picture and blocking the back leg, as that is the only area that it really shows up. |

Good choice of model for this type of shot. Pose seems a bit awkward to me... It feels just not totally right in the composition of the shot. Maybe it would have helped if the body was put more into a diagale (ie. pointing the left arm toward the top left corner, or something similar). Very nice lighting. Feels like there was a lot of burning to get rid of the background, which we still see some of it around the body... Don't know if it was intentional or not. Nice color. 7 |

Very greek pose, with a very greek model. Very good choice. I think the shiny skin may be a bit much for me, and makes it look very forced, or more like a bodybuilding contest than a figure study. It just doesn't appeal to me as much as a less glossy finish may have been for me. |

You need that leafy crown around your head. Well, I am not a fan of male nudes, but I can appreciate great use of light and shadows when I see it. I am guessing this will do very well - it does have a great dramatic impression and there's lots o' women folk here who will most assuredly rate this highly. Well done. |

Good lighting to bring out the muscle definition. The light on the hair really helps to seperate it from the black background. Good composition too. |

This is nude perfection. The shot, the body, the tone, the light. If this doesn't win a ribbon, then I'm going to be very surprised. Nothing about this isn't absolutely superb!!!!! |

Unusual Pose and lighting. Not really digging his hair color in this, seems distracting, but the overall form and point is well taken. |
