Now were talkin'. This is in the realm of what really passes, in my opinion, of great photography of the human form. Splendid. Superb. Perhaps the best I've seen on this site.

while keeping with the abstract feel, you've managed to make the male form look rather fluid and graceful. From someone who doesn't particularly think of the male form as being lovely, that's a compliment.

it's so cool, because you can look at it and look at it, figuring out what exactly you're looking at, and then once you think you've got it, you can keep looking and marvelling at the musclelature of it all

Beautiful form there 
anyways, I have some constructive criticism about this one.
The attention directly goes to the part of the landscape that's in focus, of course, which is cool and is used by you a lot and works. however here there is also another focus point - up and to the right from the first one, where there is most light, it's brightest and therefore the eyes goes there rightaway. I'm not sure if it was meant to be like that, but to me it's confusing, I cant' decide which one i like more
I don't know what is happening to the right of the frame, but i think it would be better if you moved it a little bit that way, so that the part in focus was a little bit more off the center of the image.
i'm done here

You did a stunning job here, great lighting, you manage to capture him in such a way that he seems to step away from being human.

ok. concentrate on the art.
The lighting is fantastic. It plays so wonderfully on his skin.
The pose is beatuiful. So natural and attractive.
I cant wait to see more of him.

I was browsing my list of deviations to see who had posted what, with no intention of actually looking at anything at the moment. I saw you had posted this and immed. had to check it out.
Wasn't disapointed.

amazing focus! in the thumbnail I didn't realize what it was.... great conceptual stuff!

Awesome! It seems to reveal everything of the anatomical structures of his skin. What lights do you use for these pictures and how do you set them up?

I really do love this one.
I decided to look back at your female elemental series, and I wanted to commend you for your choices in composing the two series: the light, white light and curves in the female series and the black background and darker harsher light and rougher angles in the masculine.

This is a beautiful picture, i it truly mind blowing, the colors are fantastic and very warm, looks very misterious. I like the in your face kind of thing, and the way the arm farther away looks so blury. i really like it and it truly deserves a

Compared to Max Elemental 1, I like this one more because of the warmth in the light, it really hits home that the subject is human.

holy cow.. I know he's attractive, I've seen him in person, but it's the lighting that does it here. It's not about his body, it's not even about the human body really, it's the way the light hits the curves of the muscles that strike my curiousity and beg me to touch. The desire to feel the contours you've painted so beautifully in light, is so strong, I can't find the words to explain it and considering who's saying that, says a lot. My eyes tell me that everything is hard and rugged but my mind is telling me it's soft and smoother than my eyes would have me believe.
A seemingly difficult journey may be easier than it would appear.
