CRITIQUE CLUB COMMENT

I like the lighting on this shot and I think you came close to acheiving what you wanted to acheive. The model is well toned and you hit the shadows nearly perfectly to enhance definition. Unfortunately the crop bothers me. Having half the face in the photo seems ackward in my opinion. I would have rather had from the neck down or all of the face - either or. Having the lower part of the face in the shot also makes the model feel like he's leaning, almost hunching forward. The models pose seems a little uncomfortable to me, as if he isn't real relaxed. Maybe resting a hand on the hip and shifting his weight to one leg or another would have helped. It seems the model is standing flat footed and it leads to a stiff looking pose. The hairy legs are distracting for me because hsi chest is clean shaven and the hair on the legs draws me downward. Being a male commenter the last thing I want on this photo is my attention to be drawn downward! LOL. Anyway, I think you were trying to duplicate a style of Calvin Klein ads here and for that you did a good job. Keep up the good work!

Hmmmm. Can see quite a bit of this guy's package through those shorts. Usually the CK ads are a little less, um, obvious. Nice lighting, though. Really highlights the area you evidently wanted to highlight :-)

Nice modeling shot but the angle here isn't all that interesting. I like the lighting though.

Unusual. As I would normally prefer a straight horizon, but the Angle works excellently with this image. Well done!!

very nice composition. I like the askew horizon (how many comments did you get asking you to straighten it?!) nice lighting, too.
