 i came up wiht this idea about 6 hours before the challenge.. took couple of shots and i was happy with the third one...i tried to make it high contrast image hence adding to the overall dramatic effect.. i am very happy with this shot.. it is going to be fun monitoring its progress...enjoy..

What's appealing is the colors of the shirt, the chain, and the arms, and even the stark contrast to the jeans. Background lighting is uneven left to right, but not distracting. Good shot. 7

I think I know whose entry this is...and it's just as cool as others he (or she) has shot. I like the tones and the feel of this picture. Very masculine.

The shadow across the man's chest is distracting. Might have also benefitted from a darker background.

One more pull... Very good shot. Lots of tension.

What's wrong with his arms!? Interesting yet slightly disturbing picture.

Liked: Great model, great pose, Colors (orange and blue really go together well,) and obvious effort of model is captured well.
Would have preferred: I would have liked more lighting to diffuse shadow across chest, a shirt which offered greater contrast to the chain, and perhaps more of the shoulders. Also the white balance appears off on the forearms.

I like this photo but the shadow across his chest bothers me.

interesting.. Ilike it. Rusted but retaining its strenght. could have used a little fill flash to offset the shadows. 8

in my opinion it would have looked a lot better if you cropped the top off at the persons elbows making the picture look more proportionate

I find the different colors in the background a bit distracting, otherwise great shot.

One of only a few images that included human shapes. Composition is very nice - with the smallish blue base. Image is pretty dynamic but I'm thinking the lighting could have heped you more.

Those are some sinewy arms. Nice detail. I like the foreshortened perspective. Good job!

this is great, but the shadow across the chest is taking away our focus

Great job - the dirty hands add to the composition. A white shirt rubbed with rust would have been another nice idea and would have added contrasted a little more with the chain. Overall, good score!

A rusty chain is needed, the chain looks too new Theo.
