Boy made of Gold

I know it is not a full frontal nude, anyways, I hope you enjoy this

picture. kris

Fantastic lighting. A striking portrait that works on many levels. Well done Kris.

The contrast and tone are great. Wonderful portrait & model.

The golden glow is original. I would like to see a different crop (the hand right not cut ) , cheers Jana

Thank you for nice comments,

 

To Jana: unfortunately, the original is also with a cropped arm :( ALthough, this here is tighter crop still.

No one noticed the distracting and in-your-face blown parts??? However, strange portrait. It looks like a fashion shot - his pose and lack of expression gives me that impression.

Yes, I see the blown highlights but I think it is part of the effect.

woow

 

nice pic

Sorry but for me this shot have a bad postwork and is not expressive!

Daniele - Sorry that you don't like it, what else can I say ;)

Kris, I think some people forget that photography is an art. As photographers we have the right to portray our images in any manner that we choose to express them. There are very few "perfect" images, (whatever those are), so what if the technicals are not "perfect", you like it, and others obviously do too. I personally think it is a great shot, nice tones, his face may not be expressive, but his eyes are. To me it comes across as defiant, yet can almost interpret a sense of mirth in his eyes. Great shot....congrats...LJ
