I am obsessed with cross processed images! This was originally going to be in HDR but I liked the overexposed image the best so I went with the high key effect.

Shot with just natural light coming from windows in the room

Nick, fantastic shot! welcome back, BTW! I like how you were able to keep the textures in the wall. Good choice going the high key route.

hee hee - I knew that was you. The DPL brings out all of the former stars and lets them shine again. Great shot.

Love the high-key nature of this image, the blown-out background, the 'framing,' and his pose. The image might have been stronger if he had been off to the right side of the window frame (with more to look out into) and if the model had extended his neck slightly for more length/tension. Also, the image feels slightly crooked.

She/He is gone...and is never coming back...I have to actually come back to this photo because I wasnt fair with the vote I gave it. There's something great about this photo that stands out tremendously for me. The story is incredible, his expression is spot on, and the light coming from behind him complement the excellent composition. 10

This shot has a lot of potential. The downsides for me are a feeling on graininess in the pants, and how the light is wrapping around his body and fading his hair.

I dont like he is not looking at the camera. He needed to engage with the photographer in order to get a sense of personality and expression. Its a bit blown out. 4

Pretty good but a tad brighter than I would have wanted to see it, for my taste. Totally agree about blowing out the window, I just mean the rest of the shot. Is that Nick?

What a handsome man - his face seems a tad overexposed but I LOVE your wall and floor!

Nico is that you? This is wonderful!!! I love the lighting.

I love the composition, love the whole look... only issue is the washout on his head and shoulders. Would like to see that more defined and this would be one of my favorite shots.
