great example of sculpting with light. A bit more light on the lower part of the right arm to give it just a bit more toning ? In my top 3
Post actions
Good job at finding a model with tons of curves to accentuate. The lighting is spot on. This one of the best so far. Good luck. 9
Post actions
This is great photography. Llighting, pose, exposure and composition are all spot on. 10
Post actions
wow you can really see the muscular features which is contributed by the excellent use of light and positioning of the subject. The pose reminds me of the something from Greek Methology. Well done. (10)
Post actions
Nice light, great setup and composition. too bad it wasn't a chick, but hey it's all about the photo 9
Post actions
Very dramatic, well lit, and well composed. Excellent.
Post actions
Thats a great shot. Wonderul lighting, contrast and pose.
Post actions
a nice low key image here. This guy has got to work out, i'm jealous ;-)
Post actions
Great skin tones. A beautiful body. The hair seems to be a strange color. Love the pose too.
Post actions
Very well lit and posed! The muscle definition and skin texture is just right. I'm not sure he needs that much empty space above his head, and the black frame against the nearly black background doesn't really help. But this is still my favorite of the male nudes. 9
Post actions
If we all looked like this there would be more pictures of us.. Very nice shot - excellent lighting and texture.
Post actions
The lighting is incredible in this image. Powerful image. I like it. Top 10 finish I predict. 10
Post actions
The composition is very good and complements the model. I like the the light on the background but there doesn't seem to be quite enough to get good separation in some areas like the legs and the arms or perhaps this is because the contrast was adjusted to much. I don't think the border was needed. To me, it looks like something is in the picture and blocking the back leg, as that is the only area that it really shows up.
Post actions
very nice lighting! the best ive seen so far. <9>
Post actions
This is a winner.. it's one of two best in this challenge imho
Post actions
Very nice color. Very attractive model. Good Compostion. Nice range of colors and tones. <8>
Post actions
Excellent. Great lighting; great colours; great model...if only there was a score higher than 10.
Post actions
This is a very great photo, it not often that I have to recognise that the men body can be esthetic as well. Your photo acheive that and much more.
Post actions
Looks like a bronze statue. Very nice.
Post actions
Whomever he is would he like to visit California? LOL, thanks for the eye candy and perfect exposure. I might like his left hand tilted just a hair towards us so we could see the delineation of the fingers as well as we see the muscle/bony definititon elsewhere.
Post actions
Wow really nice texture on the guys skin. The hair is interesting too.

excellen t work real ribbon material here 10

Nice shot. Lighting is what makes this one good.

pefectly focused, well done.

Very strong, marred slightly by poor definition of the model's right arm.
Post actions
To me this looks almost unnatural. I scored this low initially because I still am not sure about the model used, but I have decided that if I am going to err, I will err on the side of the photographer. 8

Beautiful lines. I gave it a 9

you've conveyed the idea of statue very well here.

Great pose toning and lighting.
Post actions
Good choice of model for this type of shot. Pose seems a bit awkward to me... It feels just not totally right in the composition of the shot. Maybe it would have helped if the body was put more into a diagale (ie. pointing the left arm toward the top left corner, or something similar). Very nice lighting. Feels like there was a lot of burning to get rid of the background, which we still see some of it around the body... Don't know if it was intentional or not. Nice color. 7

Very happy with this strong composotion excepting the hair treatment. The tonal values are solid and the pose is just superb. Bumping up.

I'm assuming that this is a person, not a statue, but the texture of the hair is a bit puzzling. Apart from that, the photo is interestingly lit and the pose is pleasing.
Post actions
Nice use of color and contrast, great model too. You really used the light to well to highlight his form.
Post actions
Very greek pose, with a very greek model. Very good choice. I think the shiny skin may be a bit much for me, and makes it look very forced, or more like a bodybuilding contest than a figure study. It just doesn't appeal to me as much as a less glossy finish may have been for me.
Post actions
Wow, lighting, exp and model are right on. very good work. 10.
Post actions
Great use of light and that backdrop is awesome. If you have time shoot me an email and let me know the brand and color. The pose is a bit....forced maybe? Should definitely ribbon.
Post actions
Post actions
A powerfully done portrait. The skin tone and lighting adds to the magnificence ofthe overall effect. Very creative interpretation. Top 5 for sure and a ribbon would not surprise me.
Post actions
Awesome lighting, model's pose is striking. Good job.
Post actions
Excellent lighting, composition, and crop. The texture of the bg fits with th texture of the model. Excellent photo!
Post actions
Great shot I like the contrast between the dark backgraound and the body. I like the musclular form and the way it plays with the light. I think this shot will do good. Hopefully top ten.
Post actions
Adonis. Would have liked it more if there was a little more light on the forward leg.

oh yeah.... beautiful body....oh my gosh... grrrreat picture!

Perfect... in every way! 10

I love the shadows and dark background - and the model isn't bad to look at either. Nice photo.

Lighting and composition in this shor are extraordinary, very well done!

Excelent lighting, and well posed. Possily just having a bit more ofthe right arm out of shadow? Dunno, but this is well done. .. 8

um.... wow. it's just virtually perfect. the lighting is extrordinary! easy 10.
Post actions
nice toning and lighting. 10
Post actions
Beautiul lighting and skin tones. Love the play of lights and shadows over the muscles. Very nice definition of the body. Very "high art" to me. (and not a bad looking model, either!)
Post actions
Excellent shot! Gave it my highest score. Excellent lighting and pose.
Post actions
Image a tad dark. Like the hair. Composition crop work lighting is exceptional and makes the image. Something about his butt cheeks looks edited but I guess I really shouldn't be looking that closely. :) 8 - Good luck in the challenge!
Post actions
I really like this one. I had 6 10s and this is one. If I had to chose though, I'd take the necklace off (unless it's a tattoo). Lighting is superb.
Post actions
Is it live or memorex....Very nice shot. Could have used a lighter backround for contrast, especially around the torso area.
Post actions
I love the lighting in this shot, the textures of the muscles are great, only thing is I wish I could see the other arm/hand a bit more and the muscles in the upper legs. Well done and good luck.

very artistic and a very nice model you got there. perfect use of shadows to show the detail of the model...10 god luck :o) ~~Cher~~

Would have loved to see his right hand in bit more light, other than that, just fabulous. one of the very few.

Fantastic light & a great pose

One of four images I rated 8 - all contenders for the yellow ribbon according to my view of the challenge. The lighting is excellent, but the muslin backdrop seems too dark for my taste. Good luck!
Post actions
Great photo. Has somehwat of a Romanesque feel to it. The courseness and shimmer of the hair is a stark conttrast to the velvety background. Excellent presentation. Good luck!
Post actions
great lighting - neat pose. It would be interesting to have this man posed in the position of the "discus thrower" from Greece. 8
Post actions
i think the shot is a bit too dark. the skin tone bronzing makes it look professional (curious how that was done)... overall i think the shot its a good study of the male form.
Post actions
You need that leafy crown around your head. Well, I am not a fan of male nudes, but I can appreciate great use of light and shadows when I see it. I am guessing this will do very well - it does have a great dramatic impression and there's lots o' women folk here who will most assuredly rate this highly. Well done.
Post actions
Fascinating pose for a nude. It certainly accentuate the models upper body. I would have liked to have seen more light on hisback arm and on his legs so the musle tone followed through the whole model.
Post actions
form looks a bit too robotic.
Post actions
Niiiiiice.
Post actions
Good lighting to bring out the muscle definition. The light on the hair really helps to seperate it from the black background. Good composition too.
Post actions
This is nude perfection. The shot, the body, the tone, the light. If this doesn't win a ribbon, then I'm going to be very surprised. Nothing about this isn't absolutely superb!!!!!
Post actions
Unusual Pose and lighting. Not really digging his hair color in this, seems distracting, but the overall form and point is well taken.
