Yikes...I know you like honest comments, Paul, and I must admit that I dislike men with such big muscles, I find them so ugly(please donīt tell the model), but good lighting though:-) Take care Annemette

I somewhat agree with A. R. E. above but it's not really about liking or disliking the subject, it's what you did with him/her. In this case I think it's PERFECT. The super nasty looking knife stands out big time, the guy is in the shadows somewhat - which makes total sense - but the proper, spot on lighting for this situation, this subject brings it all together and makes it work. I think this is as good as it gets, can't think of anything you could have done to make it better. Excellent, even better than the color one IMO, Mark 7+ PS. would be really proud of the lighting and posing work you did here (just noticed would PS that tiny reflection out at the bottom of his left ear - no big deal, very little detail)

Thanks, Mark. That means a lot. That reflection on his ear is his diamond stud, which is why I left it there. He's BAD and he's bling.
