I had ZERO ideas for this challenge. Then this young man contacted me to do some shots for his portfolio, and we got together today. While uploading for the architecture challenge, I happened to see the title for the resolutions challenge, and then turned to Sal's image. In a flash, I realized that one of the most common resolutions was to "get in shape", and Sal is as in shape as it gets. Ta da!
Sal is also one of the tallest people I've ever met, and I had to shoot him from slightly above because my backdrop didn't go high enough :-)

Oh YES! Sal will be so pleased. What a treat to place so well amidst such exceptional entries! Thank you all for such great comments and votes. Incidentally, the title was the resolution, not a description of the subject :-)

OMG had NOOOO idea this was yours!! (In fact it's noon and I forgot the challenge ended last night) duhhhhh What a Stunning shot (And Specimen) LOL I 10'd it!!!!
Definitely a good one. I like looking at pictures like this too, motivates me to get in shape because it makes me feel horrible for not being nowhere near that. Also, good shot, love the lighting and low key set up.
