Congrats, man! I had a feeling this was yours...your pony tail gives it away every time...not that we were looking at your pony tail this time, anyway... ;o)
This is very artistically done. The b/w image makes it all the more effective. I also like that you can't tell if it is a man or a woman lending to the effect of great artistry.
great tonal range, well exposed and composed. (also a very nice straight handstand sir)
My only gripe is the main focus of the photograph. I can't see why you have included the ugly tower. Your figure takes all the attention because it's well lit and it's at the forefront - so the tower is a secondary thought.
Without that this picture would be a 10. With much nice blank space giving the photo room to breath.
Ingenious and well composed! I love how you and the model did such a good job getting the two "towers" lined up perfectly .. and those clouds scattered in the background make for a nice, subtle touch.
PS. Make sure to tell the model he has a nice butt! ;) :D
This would be SO much more powerful without the distraction of the baseball cap... but I can overlook that. I also think an angle more to the right, losing the tree/shrub and putting the tower and the model in vertical thirds would be very nice. Good job, love the B & W tones. :o)
This reminds me of a game we used to play called "knives, forks, spoons, cut it"... I have no idea what the words meant really... This is wonderfully creative and unusual. I love the choice of black and white and the way the clouds are so pale against the rich darkness of the sky. I love the shadows and light on the muscles and the way that gravity makes the bottom muscles fall into an upside down love heart. I think I'd prefer to have less empty space to the left and just a small touch more to the right but... it works very well as it is. One of my top 3.
Interesting shot, I'm not sure why a naked guy is doing a handstand near a tower, but the black and white textures are great. The clouds work particularly well. A fun, quirky shot that works nicely.
LOL :-))) Really creative idea. I like B&W presentation a much and the parallel lines of your model and the tower. The plants on the left draw my attention a bit away, I would have cut them.
A for effort, but from the title I automatically make connections to the WTC twin towers and as a New Yorker I find the 'comparison' a bit insulting or rather tasteless. But I will not score you lower because of this, just wanted to point it out.
Good composition. I like the crispness of this shot and the way it makes me laugh because I did not think any of the guy pictures would be good. This one makes me eat my words. Great work! Good luck.
