Back to the Wall

thanks

Ilike it

Very cool,superb light .He has a red neck but I guess he is not-;)

Very cool!!

Helluva shot! Great light and color... Happy New Year!

A beautiful shot with very nice lighting, Joseph!

Love it. Stark, direct, edgy, contemporary. Very creative use of your skills. Love the light. It's modern art.

Joseph, very interesting indeed. The word "edgy" describes it nicely. Excellent light and contrast.

A living gallery. Well done. I like the addition of the images in the background.

Great contrast from pitch black to dark red. The addition to the background is perfect. The lighting is really good as well. Great work. Darren

Joe, what a back, unbelievable sight."gallery" is a good definition. good pose and well lighted.Interesting compatible bg.

Very interesting shot. Processed effect fits wells, so does the little messages in everywhere around the back and in the background wall. Quite an attitude pic. Good job.

great visual and contrast with the black and red, Joseph!!....Warm Winter Blessings

Fantastic image! Well taken. The code bar on the neck is intreguing. I like the triangle next to him with the 13 in it. So much going on.

Excellent and quite interesting photograph, Joseph. The pose, details, colors and light are great. Very good shot! Best regards!

Jeff pnina: I hadn't thought of gallery but I like that a lot.

Darren: Thanks for your help lately.

Tero Margaret: I was trying to make the bg images slightly subtle . Glad you noticed

Best wishes for '08 everyone.

Very interesting presentation, well done, Joseph! Best regards

Very impressive and original shot my friend.

Mystic, drawing one's attention unconsciously.

All of recent related shots impress me with how well-integrated the photoshop elements are combined with the original photograph and with your overall vision of the resulting image. Here, for example, I wouldn't have picked out which elements were added and which were original to the negative.

 

You certainly have managed to get a dark, gritty, edgy style of image without it looking contrived (as too many of such images do). Very nice work.

 

Happy New Year.

A compelling visual statement. The framing, toning, and colors are all first class.

Giuseppe, may I invite you to see my Divided Personality?

I think this shot is awesome. The colors in the body art and the background complement each other but also contrast enough to bring out great detail.
