Wow, I just watched the Documentary with him in it a couple of days ago, via Netflix, and was shocked to randomly find his picture here! :) Excellent capture. I think its amazing how much he really does look like Christopher Reeves. If he had a little more muscle tone to him, he'd have the look perfect.

Just watched the movie online. Never would have known it existed had it not been for this picture. Thank you.

Very well done, good lighting. The hand is a touch soft but not unreasonably so.

Argh, that ceiling beam sticking out of the wrist is distracting...not much to be done about that, I suppose. Oh, and I don't recall Superman wearing a wristwatch.

Holy kryptonite Batman! This is a nice shot. Focus could be better but for a look alike I think you nailed it.
