The word derives from the Greek γυμναστική (gymnastike), fem. of γυμναστικός (gymnastikos), "fond of athletic exercises", from γυμνάσια (gymnasia), "exercise" and that from γυμνός (gymnos), "naked", because athletes exercised and competed without clothing.
For this shot i was covered with oil.
An external flash was used & a black backdrop on the wall.
RAW file,adjust shadows/highlights,sharpening,convert in b&w,increase contrast (a lot)!

oh dear.
excuse the drool.
but... WOW. this is definitely ART. nice stretch
Very nice, except you should have taken the necklace off. Cool shot, though
This necklace was a gift from my mother (is a cross) so i never take it off.
But you are right...it would be better with out it.
Understandable. The price we pay for art!
This is a great shot, love the symmetry. Well done!
A magnificent "X" !
If you were covered in oil - who took the shot? I don't mean to offend but the lighting aroungd the feet make the shot look like a chop
And now that I know who you are - I doubt that it was chopped
Fallinghorse, I think the effect you are looking at is a result of dramatic contrast adjustments. That caught my eye too.
That is correct RayTedwell!
.
I used a remote to take this photo FallingHorse.
The flash is on the ceiling ,to be more accurate on the ceilings light
So ummm.. back in the days, they competed completely naked? I need a moment here, lol.
Very nice artistic shot.
Wow
Congrats for a great second place!
