Tony is a new model, he has great attitude, great toned body, thought it was about time i done one for Fi and the girls.
Was a change from photographing girls all the time. Hope you enjoy it.

I prefer my men a bit more naturally rugged looking...oh and older!!

I can't quite work out if the window adds to the picture or is a distraction but otherwise it's a nice shot!

David,

Sorry to cut in on this ladies thread just wondering about the toned body looks a little weedy to me...

It's a great shot, I really like it, with 2 things that need addressing:
1) The window works but it needs to be straight!
2) The conversion has a very light cast, which is pretty uniform across the whole picture, and his knee nearly blends into the wall, but you might have been aiming for that

**Dabhand16** · 06-06-2007, 18:18

Yes, David - certaily a change for you! I like the pose, the window and the mono treatment, but like Jack I think the window needs to be straight.

Hi David

I really like this shot. Tony has a bit of souciance, casual don't give a damn attitude here, and it is perfect. If he is a professional model, he should do great!

And I even like the window. It is following lines of perspective, I think, and adds depth and a bit of tension to the shot. And once again, your lighting is perfect and unusual for you, you have shadows on the walls, which adds much more interest to this image.

RE: toned? You mean tonal range?

Oh, THAT toned. Well, perhaps Fi would like to visualize his abs to find out, right Fi?

Ok David nice shot lighting is perfect as usual as for the window didn't spot that so it dose not bother me. Nice for the ladys to get some thing to drool over not that us men drool over the girls

as for liking them more rugged and older dose that count me in Angela

fionaB · 06-06-2007, 22:41

Skip. im visualising as we speak........ <swoon>........... mmmmmmm and u are right skip he has GREAT tonal range..............hehehehehe

damn there isnt a drooling smiley! lol

I agree with both of Jack's points. In addition, his left foot seems to have no detail, unlike his right one - you can't make out the toes. I like the soft look though, think it works well.

Charlotte · 07-06-2007, 16:24

Not bad David, but a few things that bother me here :
1) I think the soft focus is a bit much, + I'm not sure soft focus works at all for guys ... aren't they s'posed to be rugged, not soft

2) Agree that the pic needs straightening.
3) The composition seems unbalanced to me. The model is central on the horizontal but not vertically. I think it's a bit tightly cropped at the bottom + too much space at the top. With him being central (on the horizontal) + the window being top left, there's a lot of dead space on the RHS. I realise this follows the rule of the model having space to look into, but it does make the image seem unbalanced to me.
4) The model has a dreamy non-masculine look about him, which makes him not my type, so I'm not drooling over this one I'm afraid

Thanks for posting one for the girls, let's see some more

Either he is wearing one sock on and one sock off or his left foot has melted! LOL I seriously can't make out what is happening there.

I can't make any judgement on the bloke so I let me wife have a look. Guess her taste and yours are very different Fiona, she thinks he looks a bit of a wuss! Far too clean-cut for a guy with a tattoo. In fact (Di's words here, not mine!) 'Given he looks such a wuss, that's probably a henna tattoo and not a real one!'

Oh well, guess you can please all the people some of the time....

LOL, must say I admire your sense of fairness David in providing the ladies with a bit of eye-candy. Of course, all the guys on here are far better looking.... aren't we guys?

fionaB · 07-06-2007, 17:53

its the tattoo that does it for me everytime! lol

And Alan refuses to get one!
