OOOOOH my goodness.

this is fabulous. i really think you could have pulled out a bit on your crop to include the arms fully, as its a tiny bit close on the sides.
but...this is definitely great. i love the contrast, the shadowing, the fact you did it in black and white...and oh lord...well...the subject. *drool*

nicely done author. thanks for the eye candy.

Very nice work with the lighting here Author...you have surprised me (in a good way of course), nearly spot-on for this type of shot! Well done!

Just a little nit-picking thought here to give a try though...although the shadowing and contrast here is very good (don't get me wrong, love it!)...try taking your light center and high at about a 20 degree down-angle to really get the muscles to ripple and "pop"...

Just a thought and something I've had great success with

All-in-all, a simply wonderful entry...GL

I had a body like this once...but now he's buried in the basement with the other "studs" that were chasing my daughters!

Thanks for the help itsmymoment and jadedink...I am always looking for ways to improve my work.

LOL....you are so funny itsmymoment (at the bottom of your comment)

HaHa....Caught you! (FINALLY Read the whole comment)....

Great shot! Another thanks for the eye candy!

Like the grayscale here, great high res..

Let me have a better look at this shot... two better looks... three better looks...

That does it! I am going to suggest we have a" HUNKS " theme! Great shot author, (and model!"

I never got why chicks dig back muscles, my gf is the same - mystery...

Very, very nice. I agree with the above advice, but might also add just a tiny bit of a lower perspective. That way, the arms would block the horozontal bars, which kind of blend in with the grey scale. But, a very nice shot

CONGRATS!!!!!!! YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!
