Many thanks go out to my husband who endured hours hiking out in the frigid cold to find an interesting spot to set up a shot. Finding a area exclusive enough was hard, as there were a few hikers about. Finally settled on this spot and vantage. The sun was just going down and the lighting was fading quickly. My original idea was to incorporate a reflection as the main subject. Did take some more close ups but settled on this image.
The title refers to the quote 'Light at the end of the tunnel'. He is 'My Light'.
Thanks for all the wonderful comments. It was a fun learning experience. Hopefully the next nude challenge will be in warmer weather. I look forward to giving it another try and incorporating many of your fantastic and helpful ideas.

I believe this is one of the few (or maybe the only?) nature shot. and I think you did good. the bridge (at least, I think it's a bridge) frames the scene well. bumping up!
Interesting variation on a common pose. These types of nudes usually are shot with a female model. This one is a bit unexpected. The focus seems a little soft.
I like the "nature boy" aspect of this. I wonder if it will be voted lower because you are just as much a part of the shot as the other elements. I do like it. Nice light, reflection and tone. 7
I like the use of the natural border, not sure about the male model. I would've preffered to see a woodnimph kinda woman I think. But they allways seem to hide huh? ;-)
