I'm new to photographing the human form, so this is very much an experimental shot. I stood still when shooting, but there is a sense of action that jumped out at me. Thus, I'm not at all bugged by the blurry hand on the right. I hope I don't get in trouble for the letterbox-style border.

I really like your idea, and your composition, but overall feel that the shot is a little dark for my taste. I like the color, but would like to see a little more tonal range.
Very cool! The camera angle is awesome. I love the highlight that runs along the backs of his arms and over the shoulder blades. The composition is stunning. A definite 10 from me.
Don't like the thick frame at the top and bottom at all. It, for me anyway, distrubs the picture. With the muscles flexed as they are the hands should have been extended as straight out as possible. The release seems to flow from the back out the arms and stops without coming on out the hands.
Good matching of shape and composition. I'm guessing most people will complain about the uneven border, but I think it's deliberate. Bonus point for topicality!
