 Posed on a sheet draped table with my head hanging off the edge. Lighting was simple with a hanging lamp several feet from my left foot and a clamp light to the right reflected off the low ceiling.

For those of you hoping for the French maids outfit, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I had difficulty tracking one down. Maybe for another challenge. ;)

I liked this, im one of your 8s.. One thing that came to mind when i saw this was that it is such a gental pose maybe you should have taken your glasses of, just like you where going to sleep. The not shaved part adds to this, gives it that stron manly factor. I like your work and it is allso good to know someone has a eye for my own work :)

My first impression is that it looks flat. The lighting is too even.. also it seems to miss the brighter zones.
I like the perspective used here. the crop though seems odd with the right top corner un-necessarily being added to the image. It may work better with a tighter crop on right making it portrait frame.
Even though flat, I like the even skin tones in the image.

I would add a bit of contrast to the image.

If you have any questions, feel free to pm me

And this IS porn, isn't it?!

Pretty hot yourself, there, Mister! Nice detail and toning. Found myself wishing for a tiny bit more contrast. Your face was a little dark. A very nice shot, nonetheless.

Nice, though perhaps a little too soft.
