Wow what a wonderfull photo. But I suppose you would like a bit more of a critique than that. So I suppose I should start with technical aspects.
Technical: This shot was very well done from a technical aspect.
Lighting: is wonderfull giving a good variety of light and shadows. The skin tone is very rich and vibrant.
Sharpness: is also very good the only defect I can find within the shot is at the very top of the shoulder. If I were to guess from the looks of it I would say it was a smudge on the lens.
Balance: This shot also has a very good balance and flow of lines. The eyes start at the chest and folow the lines up to the weight.
Meets the challange: I would have to say yes working out is a common resolution.
Composition: I must agree with the other commenters on this one the nipple does appear to be a bit akward. I think that turning the model just a little bit towards you would give it a more natural apearance.
Personal Feelings: I feel this would have done very well in a fitness magazine. If this didn't ribbon I must admit I am suprised. I feel that as much as I hate to touch this area some water would have helped. Ok I said it yes more of those silly water spots DPC'rs complain about so much. I feel that lightly misting you model with water adding presperation would have further enhanced an already wonderfull shot. I also feel that this well formed arm lifting that tiny little two pound weight is great.
Its a Wonderfull shot and I hope to see more work like it in the future.
Good focus and lighting along with good skin tones. You do have a distracting smudge spot on the shoulder and the chest perspective looks a bit off. Other than that good shot 6.
Well now... I wouldn't mind meeting this guy somewhere... I'd change the resolution I think (not sure what I'd say though) but the image is just great the way it is.
Funny. Like the compostion. Crop is perfect allowing eyes to focus on all three elements of chest, arm, and weight. Skin tones and lighting look nice. Good luck and HNY.
I am not sure, but I think using black and white on this shot might have been a better choice. I can't explain why I feel that way (too inexperienced to communicate the reason), but when I imagine this shot in black and white, I am drawn to that imaginary version more.
judging by your arms, i think you're already using bigger weights.. either that, or i got screwed with the genetics! nice, clean, crisp shot with good tones and composition. not sure if i think that your ny resolution is the best, but who am i to judge (maybe you got injured and have been going light lately?) - great shot.
