Posed on a sheet draped table with my head hanging off the edge. Lighting was simple with a hanging lamp several feet from my left foot and a clamp light to the right reflected off the low ceiling.
For those of you hoping for the French maids outfit, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I had difficulty tracking one down. Maybe for another challenge. ;)

I liked this, im one of your 8s.. One thing that came to mind when i saw this was that it is such a gental pose maybe you should have taken your glasses of, just like you where going to sleep. The not shaved part adds to this, gives it that stron manly factor. I like your work and it is allso good to know someone has a eye for my own work :)
My first impression is that it looks flat. The lighting is too even.. also it seems to miss the brighter zones.
I like the perspective used here. the crop though seems odd with the right top corner un-necessarily being added to the image. It may work better with a tighter crop on right making it portrait frame.
Even though flat, I like the even skin tones in the image.
I would add a bit of contrast to the image.

Pretty hot yourself, there, Mister! Nice detail and toning. Found myself wishing for a tiny bit more contrast. Your face was a little dark. A very nice shot, nonetheless.
i love this angle and my self portrait is very similiar yet because im a female mine has been considered porn? or are they just jealous because they didnt think of it? great shot and good luck!
