hey micheal: There is something about a man or woman who will be photographed w/o clothing who does not have zero percent body fat - and think that shows character and a self confidence that is very powerful and attractive. I also like the use of b/w here...you see pores in the skin (something we all have) yet which is usually covered up with glamor lighting...again, says he is comfortable with who his is (or maybe with you taking his photo). Also, the dark line running from his shoulder to his head in the northwest corner makes a nice line and framing device....Do you think the background looks pasted on? Would it have been more effective had his torso been at a little bit more of an angle to the camera? Right now it is like hitting a wall to me. lots of good things here that you are doing in my opinion. ken

Thanks. The "pasted on" look is from the backlighting of the sunset. Looking back I probably should have had him at a bit more of an angle.
