My first shoot in my "studio" - the garage vacated by our tenant. It is SO cool!!!!! I had this idea with flying droplets, and really put poor Sam through the paces. He may have to get a neck brace...
I know Manny mostly shoots beautiful, exotic women, but I wanted something different. Besides, there were no beautiful, exotic women for me to shoot. However, this is quite similar in feel to this image, so I know he shoots guys too... Hopefully, I pulled off a "Librodo" look. Regardless, I'm pleased as punch with the results. I hope you are too.

So, I'm laughing out loud about all the Lvicari comments, because one of the people I wrote for feedback WAS Leo. He didn't think it was very Librodo, but I guess I'm in a stubborn streak and decided to enter it anyway, 'cause Bear_Music though it rocked. As do I.

Ah well, if they ever do an "in the style of" Lvicari, I'm ready :-)

Joey Lawrence??!! Dang, I'm so very flattered. With deepest apologies to Manny, because I really DID want to try shooting something in his style, but clearly failed to channel my inner Librodo :-)

It's been a fun week. Clearly failed to meet the Librodo standard, but am awed to be compared to such outstanding photogs. Thanks for all the votes and comments. And apologies to Manny. I really did try :-)

If only you wrapped his face in colorful silk. ;-) This is a great shot, Johanna. And still an excellent finish. Well done.
ps: Note that you did better than both JoeyL AND Manny. :)
Look at you again, your becomming the DPC Queen!!! Above all imanges this one always jumped at me in the thumbnail, I think it's a GREAT shot!!! Congratulations on an Awesome Picture!!!
As such this image is great in terms of lighting, processing and effect. If you have not entered this image in this challenge, I doubt if someone would look at it and say this looks like Librodo's style.
Looks more like a Vicari than a Librodo ;-)
Still a great portrait, with lovely dramatic lighting. His muscles scare me a little.
I am going to laugh if this is actually you Leo, just can't get out of your own style!
