Been in a bit of a funk lately when it comes to shooting. Not too inspired to shoot. Took this the other day just goofing around and I finally got around to processing it.

What do you guys think?

    I like how the shadows detail the muscles and think that it would make a nice shot with a background that tells more of story. Just my opinion, and you know what opinions are like mwink.gif

    It's very nice, I like it, but like Paulie above, I'm missing part of the story, I think. It's your back..... and....? What are you doing with your (right) hand? Did you have a headache? are you holding your head? or are you banging your head against the wall? lol3.gif What story did you want to bring across to me, the viewer?

    I like it the composition; it works for me. I'd like a touch more light on the hands and possibly darkening the rest of the area around you... those few vertical lines near the elbow are a little distracting.

    Sorry to hear about the funk, but I'm (as usual) enjoying your work. Nicely done.

    No real story behind this. Actually pretty corny to tell the truth. I was taking some progress SP's... I've been training pretty hard for a triathlon and I have been taking periodic progress shots to track physical changes. While taking some normal shots, I decided to try some different poses and lighting. Like I said, I haven't had much motivation to shoot lately so I thought I try to get a couple shots in to see if something developed.

    I pretty much echo this.... But I might either suggest a crop that nuke's the dark space OR throwing some more light into it...

    It's a good bodyscape IMM.

    Oh that made me laugh!
    BUT, I will say this--Show it while you got it:D

    I've been wanting to try some SPs myself, but it's outside of my comfort zone. So more power to you Cuban.

    I like your PP work on this shot.

    EDIT: I'm fully aware your choices for challenge 43 are already in--so not trying to score brownie points Laughing.gif.
