what an interesting composition you've turned in here. i hope this image isn't getting lost in the shuffle and that you are getting some good feedback. this is definitely an image that takes time to appreciate. good luck with this, and all the challenges yet to come!
Like the lighting here. I had a female in the room when I voted and she was quite enthralled by this. I can see why, if I batted for the other team I'm pretty sure I'd be quite taken aback by this one.
I find this photo hard to look at because of the contrast. The hotspot on the persons left shoulder makes it very hard to look at and the eyes look a little over processed(if you will). I also would have prefered to see the guys whole head and not cropped like it is.
Great model, very sexy. Love the thoughtful look. Only thing I would change is the crop at the top, I don't like the head being cut off. Every thing else is excellent. 9
