Okay, this is my first self-portrait submission. I didn't have any other subject that I could realistically photograph for this challenge, and I doubt this will fare well relative to those with beautiful models, and indeed this was only an "accidental" vantage here. But I felt there's something captured here. You can almost feel the gentle sunshine coming in from the glass door I was standing in front of when I saw this composition. Maybe it works; maybe it doesn't. I'll let the voters tell me.

Hmm... not sure what you are going for here, but it doesn't work for me. Focus is odd with the shallow dof and the focus placement at the calves. Also the composition is very strange -- eye starts at the out of focus feet and then is pulled up the legs and away from what I perceive to be your intended point of interest. The toning isn't warming, so much as jaundiced.
Normally, when you see a shot of someone's feet, it is a sign of a poor eye and/or a last minute, lack of any good idea, weak effort that looks snapshottish, amateurish, and crappy. :-) That being said, this looks well thought out and works really well, IMO. A dynamic composition and I like the tones. The lighting seems kinda hot (blown out) on the tops of the feet. Nice job.
This has potential. I don't like the clipped highlights on the feet but he lighting in general is nice. The border doesn't add but rather subtracts, IMO.
This is certainly different! I'm a sucker for a man with hairy arms/legs/chest so this ticks all the right boxes for me lol I am a bit put off by the border you have chosen, this really doesn't do anything to enhance the shot IMHO. I do however like the angle and the editing works nicely :o)
Yes.. nice legs. But not up to the standards of many of the other pictures here. I must say I like the crop. It is actually a picture that could be hung up. (just not at my place)
