Male Nude BW
Heya folks
This is my first foray into this type of photography. After a couple of weeks of planning (researching, meeting with models and more researching) we were ready for prime time! I basically wanted to do something really different and more dramatic and I think I delivered since my family and friends were floored by the results (probably cause I kept it a closely guarded secret) Anyway Here are the results of the Sunday shooting. C&C most appreciated. Thanks! 
excellent work all aspects spot on its very herb ritz

Very awesome shots.

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935. Our mug is smug
Very impressive Ron

Thank You
Really great work!
My pick is number 3. Great image. I do find the clouds though a little bit distracting...I think with the BW conversion it may be a stronger image without them..... Keep up the good work! -Dave
great job, very well done!! love the pose, and the contrast, sand to sky, very nice lighting!
all great!
Excellent results - well done!

I'm not an expert in male body appreciation, but the composition and especially the tones are first class. I think for me the tonal scale makes the images. I love the stark contrast between sand and sky, and the model connecting the two...
Cheers Steffen. lust for comfort suffocates the soul
Absolutely beautiful work here. I wouldn't be surprised if you said you'd been shooting for Black&White magazine for years!
Especially love the second shot, it has a kind of femininity yet maintains the male form thru the strength highlighted by the shadows on the muscles. Great job.
Perfect tones and inspired work. Great model and location selection too.

Ron,
Great shooting, and great post as well. A couple of very minor criticisms ... in #3 ... I'd have liked to have seen a slightly wider angle, or a slightly different angle of view; one that kept the subject's feet within the frame. And in #4 - which is my favourite, btw - I'm wondering if you can bring out just a little more detail and texture in the sand? It's already a great image, but in the foreground I can see a little bit of texture in the sand that has ripples leading towards the subject. I think it may help if these could be brought out a little more. g.

Thanks everyone for the encouraging comments, I'm still exploring with this type of photography and hopefully I will can approach more people willing to do something similar.
Gary, love your eyes mate, your constructive feedback is always bought on board. sirhc55 I have no idea who those people are, but I'll google them when I get the chance and get some ideas Thanks everyone
Well I'm drooling so that must mean that I think they are good...
actually they are better than good.. they are excellent! *peels lips from monitor*  The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list...
Soooo.... do you come here often....  The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list...
This is some fine work. As Beetleboy says, it could be straight out of Black+White magazine (if you haven't already, check it out - available at most newsagents with a decent Photo Mag section (not MyFirstDigiCam)
Being your first attempt at this kind of photography, I think you're on to something!
