I really like this - thought it would do better. I have to admit the soccer ball on the tennis court bugged me and the fact that it technically was not a studio shot - but I wasn't voting and from a purely appreciative value I like it a lot!!
Holy cow! Those are some serious pecs!!!! Beautifully processed, and I can't decide about the vignetting. It does draw the eye to the center, but seems superfluous given the subject... Front page.
It's obvious that for the most part you have a great image here, I would have cropped out the light on the right edge and there is something about the area above the bridge of the nose to the forehead that is darker compared to the rest of his face. Nice work
Great shot! The guy looks so huge, the football in his hand is almost a tennisball. Why did you ppace him on a tenniscourt with a football wearing casual Adidas sneakers?? Anyway - very well done. 8!
I'm a bit confused and unsure how to handle. This is a fantastic full length shot, but does it meet the requirement for a studio shot? After some discussion on the forums, I think I'll not apply my open perception of a "studio" shot and will simply score this as an excellent full length portrait.
Well this is not shot in a studio so I voted it a 2 as it clearly does not meet the challenge as far as I am concerned. Shame, as it´s a good shot, I like the b/w toning.
Nice use of a HDR like effect, and great angle... makes the model look like a giant. This is being picky but why is he holding what looks either like a volleyball or undersized soccer ball wearing running/basketball shoes on a tennis court? You've mixed up quite a few sports there.
