Most Muscular Pose

Very nice self-portrait, ciao Giangiorgio

Great B&W composition, Michael! The person depicted looks somehow modest in spite of the muscles and all! Good that he's not alone in the centre of the picture, that makes the composition more natural! My sincere compliments and Happy New Year! PDE

PDE, thanks so much for you attention to this image and for the compliments. All your remarks are accurate, except one. The subject is a professional bodybuilder, who is posing at a competition. If anything, he's showing himself off to the audience and to the judges. Perhaps he's modest in his private live, but we'll never know. - - My best always, michael

Giangiorgio, sorry I didn't respond to your remark first. I take it as a bit of good-hearted sarcasm, since I look nothing like this person (a professional bodybuilder). - - Grazie mille and ciao!! - - My best always, michael
