I like the concept very much. However the "invoidable" hair on the belly crowds the image with too much detail and takes away some of the interest of the picture itself.

Hi Yan, thanks for the comment. I'm not sure what you mean by "invoidable." When I think about it though, I must agree that the hair is somewhat distracting.

Neat contrast

I mispelled and meant not avoidable. It could be shaved, but then it would be a different subject.

The hair in this photo is perfect. To me this photo is all about shape and texture. If you remove the hair than you need to remove the veins in his hands then your left with a woman. This photo is about detail, it's about shadow, it's about texture. The hair, like the veins give the photo depth. It defines the shape. Personally I think this is the best male nude I've seen. Hoorah!!! I love it!!!

I, like you, have been doing photography for just over two year, so I really appreciate your positive comments. You've expressed exactly what I was trying to get across. The unique virile and textured appeal of male hands: prominent veins, rough skin, and the hair. I chose textured, dramatic lighting for this reason. Thanks!

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.
