Great self portrait, congrats Gary!

Congrats Gary, excellent composition and the lighting is just perfect. Not sure I would like to meet you in a dark alley with that monster on you shoulder :)

I did 300 push ups and something went wrong. Maybe I should lay down to do them. The air method doesn't work :)

Ok, I was totally taken off guard here. I have no clue what I pictured you looking like...But it sure wasn't this large hunk of man. Nice shot for sure. Congrats!!

Congrats on your ribbon Gary. You've done a great job on setting the mood in this picture and the look is perfect.
Post actions
Congratulations on your Ribbon! Fantastic work as always!
Post actions
Kiwiness the Barbarian doesn't sound so menacing. :) This was a great idea, perfectly executed, and a well deserved ribbon to add to the vault. And a butt kickin' axe too!
Post actions
Hmmmm, I did 300 pushups from 1967-1970!!
Post actions
OK, now we know that it's not only your hot models that get you ribbons :-P Congrats on a great shot.
Post actions
Congratulations, excellent shot!
Post actions
Wow, 300 hundred push-ups, I couldn't do that before shooting. After that I couldn't even hold my camera.
Post actions
Nice chopper you have there Gary :-),
Post actions
I Love this. More so now that I know who this is.
Post actions

Bavarian Barbarian, King of DPC, Earl of Oz, Duke of Siberia. :)
Post actions
This is such a cool pic, congrats
Post actions
Do you know who you're real father is? I'm telling you, he must be Icelandic because you're not barbarian, you're a viking!
Post actions
I love the light and color hues. Great idea to use the axe. Gives the picture some robust-ness and almost lends itself to another time period...awesome. Any reason you didn't do it topless?
Post actions
Post actions
300 for third... shoulda done 900! :) Great photo. The softbox lighting angle seems to work really well here. Gives it that gritty feel. Congrats!
Post actions
It's getting borig to just say Cograts Gary.
Post actions
Another victory achieved by the Barbarian master, Lord and ruler of DPC's first page. :))
Post actions
Congrats! I say, you might wanna be topless next time though, it really worked for Steinar :)

Hey Gary, no wonder you've got such great muscles if you're wielding these medieval weapons around all day ;-)) Fantastic SP, awesome image. Big congrats on the yellow.
Post actions

Post actions
Congrats Gary. Great lighting and composition.

Darn it, I think my computer is broken... it's got some virus that automatically clicks 10 on just about every photo you enter. Doh! There it goes again. Can I borrow your axe?
Post actions
Now where has that nice smile gone from the environmental portrait. Remind me to never give you a low score and let you know about it. Great shot. I have this in my top 10.
Post actions
makes my top3 list! It's an awesome image. My favorite color portrait.
Post actions
you are amazing!! i think this should easily be atleast in the top 10
Post actions
The axe, look on your face, lighting ... GREAT.. (would have liked to see an barbarian looking shirt).. but, good :o)
Post actions
Great focus, detail and color. 8
Post actions
What can I say... beautifully executed and very powerful. Great job!
Post actions
Hmmm, a new tool of smite, perhaps??? :) Intimidating shot.
Post actions
Man... you are soooooooooo dude! Good composition, great side lighting and well framed. This has just the right amount of gritty darkness to give it a realistic medieval feel. Super job. Should be a ribbon winner just like that foxy chick with the yellow flowers. If she wins a ribbon you think I should hit on her?
Post actions
Where did you get that axe!? I really like this shot! Definitely one of my favs!
Post actions
Great photo. I hope this one does well. Nice balanced lighting and excellent tones. Fantastic work.
Post actions
lol...you're such a stud. *hugs* :)

Post actions
Post actions

Post actions
Axe me no questions and I'll tell you no lyes. Great shot, prop works well, expression is excellent, lighting dead on.

Post actions
Wow, what a big chopper you have:)) Fantastic lighting! Nice colour. Great focus! 10

Mental note, don't cross this man! This is another amazing shot in this challenge that needs no improvement whatsoever. My guess? Kiwiness?

Nice image Love the lighting and the tones

You beast!!! Excellent light, tone and details. That is one wicked weapon! Great work, as usual.
Post actions
Nice lighting (Nasti? ;-)) and PP. you look great like this, you almost scare me :P
Post actions
Great lighting and overall feeling
Post actions
Yes, a barbarian for sure. I do like this composition; the subtle colours and wonderful lighting.
Post actions
Post actions
wonderful SP love the lighting, tones and the expression certainly fits the props 9
Post actions
Cool barbarian pose, looks kind of like Lock from Lost
Post actions
Remind me never to run into you in a dark alley!
Post actions
Konan/axe wielder - exquisite prop is appropriate for one who handles his tools so well.
Post actions
Post actions
nice strong image, well done
Post actions
Ha,ha, Gary you play to much Oblivion. Good photo though. Good luck :)
Post actions
Super job here, love that axe
Post actions
ok .. scary dude .... this is a good shot .. the axehead is making for an interesting shot.
Post actions
Brutal!!! I'm afraid NOT to give it a 10!! Excellent.
Post actions
Ok ok!!..I'll give you a good score. Just...put the...axe....down.
Post actions
Haha, you really look like one kiwi, great lighting!
Post actions
Cool shot barbarian!! 10!
Post actions
Post actions
Wow excellent shot! I really like the lighting.
Post actions
Good decision to go with the muted colors.
Post actions
that's a nasty piece of work...and the axe is not so friendly either ;-)
Post actions
Let's go chop some wood. Great picture.
Post actions
Gary... you da man! This image is precisely lighted, the props support the image overall and wow, you look great! Terrific shot! 10 from me!!
Post actions
STUNNING, FANTASTIC, SUPERB & AWESOME! Good luck!
Post actions
Woohoo!!! Off to beat the trolls!!!!
Post actions
Uh.. I don't think I want to run into you in a dark alley! Very good photo.
Post actions
Post actions
Great depth of tone and detail Gary. I assume this is you in your day job. Very fitting.
Post actions
Cool, relaxed, down to earth, but when something needs to be done you do it and you do it good and with style. :)

A lot of character in this photograph.

Post actions
The first time I saw this I immediately thought, "WOW". This is put together so well. I love the addition of the leather around your wrist and your expression, while barbaric, seems to be one of divine knowledge.
Post actions
Probably one of my favourites... really quite an awesome photo. No way to improve on this, because everything is just so right.
Post actions
i like the colors and the stare 9
Post actions
He, he, this is good! Love the bracelets. I read somewhere that Roman soldiers were required to put on wet leather bracelets before going into battle - leather contracts when it dries, the soldiers were so desperate to get them off that they would win every battle. And that's how the Romans beat the Barbarians :))))) [10]
Post actions
Sheesh! Wouldn´t wanna meet you in a dark alley, well not at least if you are holding that axe instead of two beers, hehe :) Love the lighting and look, just wish you had been topless, now THAT would have been worth a 10, this "just" got a 9 from me :)
Post actions
I hope you're not really a barbarian, but this certainly is a fascinating look at one side of you...very creative...that double-headed axe looks like it belongs in a museum.
Post actions
Man look at those guns! :-) It's kind of scary that you have that thing just lying around, that's some wicked equipment. :-) Cool shot Jan!
Post actions
gosh you could be a barbarian model for sure
Post actions
Post actions
Great, great lighting and tones. excellent comp and pose. 10
Post actions
Nice. Great overall texture. I like the monochromatic color scheme. Great focus too. On second review, this deserves a higher score. It really is pretty much perfect. I love your expression and the lighting is killer. BRAVO 10
Post actions
Hey Kiwi-the-executioner! LMAOOO! Cool!
Post actions
Well, you must be a rugby player then. Probably a bloody All Black supporter. Technically sublime. 8.

Post actions
The colour and lighting here is perfect. Fantastic shot. Love it.
Post actions
well done! Love the theme. Composed perfectly
Post actions
so you killed all your brothers and now you are hunting down the rest of the competition to insure another ribbon, eh Gary? Your lighting here is excellent, especially on the blade of the axe, where it would have been easy to overexpose the edge. great expression, great catchlights. oh well, maybe red or yellow will be left for me... :)
Post actions
You are just going to hack your way back to another blue aren't you?
Post actions
woooooh! you sexy beast! sweet! by the way, does that axe come in handy?
