.... is this wide pants not disturbing while moving ?.... good work !

Now your cookin brilliant mate, absolutely brilliant. The Woods.

Wonderful shot

Powerful shot, where every detail seems perfectly and carefully chosen for this capture... The background with those heavy packs, the light falling from the side, the model's focus, pose and his whole appearance... Stunning result! I'd rather see this photo in a Pirelli calendar than those eternal bony supermodels... I have told you already, and it's worth repeating - you should start working with your camera again, mate! Vashek

I agree with Geoff its brilliant as is all your work !!

A five foot nothng associate of mine who did Kyokushin karate (full contact) in Tokyo, regaled us over a beer one night about a six foot six Israeli girl who came to learn self defence at the same Dojo. Ever tackful he craned his neck backwards and enquired "who on earth in their right mind would attack someone as big as you?" Reading your story of Greg brought this memory back — love the contrast of textures in this study as well as the lighting, not many eyes can see either when looking through a lens, that is a rare talent nicely expressed

Fantastic and spectacular photography.....!!!

I say yes to everything Vashek said! Hugs O.

Brilliant...but would have limited appeal in the greeting card industry...haha! Then again it might appeal to certain horny old ladies...sorry - I'm in a weird mood this morning! I need coffee I think.

No needs for words!our Friends' comments tells everything already Carl! I just say:"Amazing! I like it too much!Picture goes to my favorits!!:-))))

Wow Awesome stance, lighting, and power behind this look Carl Wow!

What a perfect, amazing, gorgeous image, the pose, the attitude, the body are perfect! And speaking of martial arts, this kind of image resonates in me, I practiced kendo for 4 years, the best days of my life!

Beautiful shot and PW!

Great impact with this - love the model and the pose, but what I love most is how you finish your pieces with such interesting backgrounds and settings. Incredible!

exxxxxcellent.

♥ Very nice looking artwork, I wish you a beautiful Sunday ♥

Very nice capture. Well done.

This is stunning!

And exactly WHY would he need weapons anyway!!!!!! lol Cool shot.

Excellent

This is a gorgeous image, the light and textures are amazing, such power and reserve in his stance. Wow.

A stunning portrait! The light, pose and added textures make this really fantastic.

Where do I start... The whole composition down to every little detail, like he's not looking at the camera but somewhere just below it, just works so well! The lighting brings out his upper torso so well, every muscle just pops out at the viewer! Countered by the wonderful contrast of his Gi bottoms where luxurious texture folds give way to almost blackness before the lightness of the wooden floor pulls it back again! The way you light males to accentuate their physiques is awesome! If you can do the same with the female form in a way that appeals to the 'age' then Pirelli can indeed be yours! Take up you camera and go get Pirelli! Martin

Very nice work. This guys body looks so sculpted, it reminds me of those you only see in those older Martial Arts Video games. Great lighting and PP treatment as well. The whole look of this image is top notch.

Oh geez. Oh geez. This guy is super hot. What a bod. What form. Love the lighting to show off his muscles. Great pose with the numchucks. That background is brilliant. Really great photo here. Awesome job!

Very Nice

I like the light on the fabrics. The dark trousers ground the figure nicely and the low-sat treatment suits it. The pose is good, too, accentuates the body-builder's egocentric self-image. He's clearly not as he sees himself....about as threatening as a hamster in boxing gloves, with the hidden depths of a puddle in the pavement. Nice abs though.

you couldn't be further from the truth Pantalone my friend......His physique is from years of dedication and you could not find a more humble, wise and sharing person than the man in this photograph! and with regards to threatening..... he breaks bones with punches, he shakes buildings with his movement...hell yes he is threatening...

GENIAL SIMPLEMENTE GENIAL.....QUE AS SE PUEDE DECIR....NADA.... ESTE TRABAJO DEJA SIN SENTIDO LAS PALABRAS

Great looking photo!
