Why the purple I think it should be green as in the incredible hulk with that body LOL!
Nice body but lost with the colour

Very simple. The armband is distracting and stops you eye from flowing across the photo.

I think having the model rotate a bit and centering a little more would have made this pic... Nice lighting and good balance

This was a good idea. I find it pretty dark though. The band on the arm unbalances the photo to me.

Strong back muscles here.

This doesn't do much for me as a photo - the colors are pointless to me, i can't understand why it should have a purple hue to it. some photos work ell with it, but a back doesn't seem to cut the mustard.

Also the pose and location isn't very dramatic - being flat on is kind of depth less and boring.

I would suggest rotating 45 degrees next time, and casting some shadows and depth.

Great color but a little too dark. You lose a lot of the definition without more contrast.

Men's backs are so sexy... this is a great shot, and the lighting really adds umph to the whole mood. Great photo.

I'm having a problem finding anything particularly interesting in this composition. Maybe if it was not underexposed, the muscle/texture detail would be a stronger element of the image. The color itself is not really strong enough to support the entire theme.
