Hey there from the Critique Club
My thoughts on the image: My initial impression of this image and the presentation is strong. I am not a fan of the male nude form overall, but this is very nicely presented. I like your toning and composition. The flow of the body plays very strongly with the mind's eye to lead it into and throughout the image. Your clarity and detail also serves to strengthen the image well.
My ideas for improvement: I'd like to see the lighting just a touch more even. I agree with Robin that the shadow that the head casts on the right arm is a little bit distracting, but not overly harsh by any means. As odd as it may seem, I'd actually like to see the feet a little more crisply focused. I'd also like to see more attention paid to the symmetry of the model's hands. You did a very nice job with symmetry in the framing and cropping, so I think it should carry over to the hands as well. The position of the feet need no adjustments.
Where I would have/did score this entry: I didn't vote in the nude challenge this round as I have spent far too much time at work lately. Glancing through the scores and results however, I would have voted this one as a 6 or 7. With that in mind, I do believe that the image was scored appropriately by the voters. Congrats on a well presented image and a well scoring entry.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

| I only got to view this image once during voting so I gave it a 6 without consideration of a bump which this certainly deserves. The little feet coming out of his head is most bizarre looking but in a way it works. It helps bridge the physical and the mental which is what sport is all about. He's on his mark alright and so are you. |

| Nicely done. The only improvement I see would be to remove the shadow from the right arm. |

| I really like the monochrome treatment - your model's pose is interesting and his physique intriguing :) The bottom of his hands seem a bit cut off, perhaps he is resting them on a soft surface? Lovely lighting. |

| This is different. The pose feels awkward to me. His feel appear to be floating. This has an almost pink/orange tint on my computer. I like the idea of the muscular exploitation, just not sure this works. Great idea. |

| I love the coloring on this. The funny thing is I thought he was leaning against a wall not getting ready to race (until I read the title). |

| Very strong image! Some may not think it is "nude" enough but it gets a 10 from me. |

| Interesting shot. Just when you think you've seen most poses, something a little new comes along. A little harsh on the contrast, and I'm not a fan of the magenta hint to the toning here. |
