"If our mind is shaped by our experiences, so too, our body shaped by our repeated actions. The uselesness of the body builders craft is akin to the mental agility of little practical application enjoyed by the 'idiot savant'. To have our form shaped though, by the obsessions that we undertake, is to create a wonderful landscape to explore. To enjoy the naked form as art is to grow beyond the human desires we feel. And thus we open up a whole new world of beauty, hitherto only seen as stimulus" - Doug
without reading the above remarks:
the crop at the bottom is great...looks like he's standing on the frame...and you're right about this in color...i think it's the tone of his skin...beautiful...
the pose and musculature remind me of a klimt painting...this is great!!!
this deffinitely goes under favorite nudes under deviant pack, love the muscle and skin tone of the human body. he must really be in shape. the crop looks cool. like how he's standing on his feet. dont see alot of male nudes doing that. like it thanks for sharing.
This is absolutely exquisite. Well shot male nudes are SO hard to get...and he simply screams out with the warm golden tones of the body, the b&w background. the way you cropped it he could be standing on anything...
I just have to say...absolutely divine.

Doug, I absolutely love the cropping of this. Along with the simple clean lines of his muscles and the warm tones of his skin contrasting with the subdued grey background, I think the cropping right at the base of his feet makes the shot. Absolutely stunning.
