 I have to extend a great big THANK YOU to Leo LVicari once again for inviting me to do another shoot with him and for all the new lessons in photo shop, he really knows his way around that program and for that I have a chance to pick his brain and learn lots of great things.

Nice shot, great tones. The good-looking model and the unusual setting don't hurt, either. One of my "9" votes.

I think the ladies liked this one, Max. :-) OK, on a more serious note (and I must look away from the shot to be more serious), excellent lighting, great pose, and a very cool setting for this one. Very nice work indeed! And congrats on the new top row entry!

Nicely done Max, great score. I was convinced that this was Leo's image when I was previewing the thumbnails.

Nice composition, I'm suddenly thirsty for a coke.

I think I remember this guy from the Grunge challenge. I'd be curious what this would look like with the color left in on the Coke sign. That aside, I like the monochrome conversion
