It's good. Too staged I think. I keep being pulled between dawn and man. And what is he doing with his hands? I think you are trying too hard.

I'm sorry, but this is the top of Mount Pizzoc, in Italy, 80 km north of Venice. Thank for your comment :)

Cool idea

Well done. Perhaps cropping from the right just a tad more.

Good to see a male nude photo once in a while. I love the composition and the muted colors as well as the gradient in the sky/background.

WOW!

Awesome [cough] scenery ;) Seriously though, it's a spectacular capture. I think you've handled the exposure very well and it's a solid composition. Good work.

I sure hope it was warm up there. Good take on the challenge. Maybe a bit dark overall as far as lighting goes but I get the pictrure. 7

Quite like this, just a little underexposed on the lower half.
