Description
Adding another that I created just the other day, just because I guess. I hope it's useful.Edit: Thanks very much, oibyrd . The feature (daily deviation) and your extremely kind words are most kind and humbling and I appreciate them greatly.

I love this pose, it is deceptively simple, the foreshortenings nearly drove me crazy. I used it [link] and I hope you'll like it.

Thanks! I can't remember any of why I created this shot. It's a self-photo, during a period when I did a lot of that, because I had just purchased my first (and still only, but now it's old) digital SLR. Thanks for the

beautiful photo and congrats to the DD
I really like your gallery, your photos are very aestethic and the light always emphasizes the natural shape of the male body.

I love this pose! I have a great idea for it if I can only draw the darkness of night!

Thanks! I must admit, "drawing the darkness of night" sounds like a very daunting challenge. Thanks also for all of the latest

*grins* I'm glad! I'm actually working on an artsy picture that I plan on posting when I get back home (it's on the hard drive that I left there and I'm out visiting family). I'll send you a note to see if it's appropriate.
Oh and you're welcome on the favs! I love your stuff and I'm starting to get ideas on how I can photomanip them (My drawing skills are abysmal at best) so... yeah! And you're welcome for the favs! I do love your work!

Yay Ben! You deserve the DD, and don't let any of those "this is dirty, mature content, ew" comments get to ya, I think you're one of the people on this earth who should be barred from wearing clothes anyway
Congratulations, man! Thanks for being my inspiration, as well!

I keep reading these comments about how "dirty" and "disgusting" and "unnatural" nudity is in recent days. When I look at a beautiful photo such as this, I wonder how others can possess such a mindset.
The tones are so soothing to the eye; they're gentle, and soft - and there is just enough shadow, if not a bit too much. The reflection of light on skin helps to direct the viewer's attention to finer details of the piece. The light on your chest guides one's eyes to the concavities made by your ribcage. The illumination on your knee manouevres the gaze to the mild sweep of hair on your thigh. In my opinion, the hair does not diminish the beauty of the skin.
The body and muscles look so relaxed, and I love it. The curves are what first drew me to the photo: the pectoralis major, gluteus maximus, and the biceps brachii.
The smaller details, like the curves of your lips and jaw are also very lovely. I could keep going on, and on, analyzing your shot - but I'm certain I've gone on long enough. You did a wonderful job composing this piece, and I'm afraid my comment was a bit more in depth than I first was planning. I saw this picture, and the first word that came to mind was, "poetic".
π: 0 β©: 2
Wow, all of this from "poetic", I'm impressed! I greatly appreciate your in depth thoughts. I've heard the shadow a "bit too much" thought before, but I try. I don't really claim to know that much about what I'm doing, really, I just keep trying....
If you read this entire thread (and no, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it), you will find some of the comments of "dirty" and "gross" and the like right here in it. They are very much in the minority, and I didn't and don't intend to even grace them with a response. I think the reality is you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink. I try very hard, and above all else try to send a message of innocence and artistry in the human form - even the male form - even my own. But, try, though I do, and hope beyond hope as I do, that those who look will truly be able to see and see what you have described here in eloquent detail, some simply can or will not. It is sad to me, but I can only do as good as I can do, and I certainly realize my own limitations.
I guess you inspired to write a longer reply also

You're so wonderful. I did read through some of the comments - well, a vast majority - before I posted my own to make sure I wasn't stating anything that had been mentioned countless times before and I came across where you had described vaguely about stopping your modeling. Perhaps you've already mentioned some more about it in your journals, which I haven't flitted over to read yet, but don't stop. Your photos are so very inspirational.
Oh! And thank you for giving me something to favourite.

I understand how people could like this but I find it...umm..to be quite blunt. I think its gross.. the male body leaves alot to be desired..

That is not constructive at all - comments are for critique - not personal preference announcements. Please consider this and read the etiquette policy on commenting to DD features.
