Horizon's Ocean

"I gaze out into the horizon at the beautiful sunset,
that ocean of calm colors, so far away.

And I lay there,
my body is such a virgin to all the wonders of the world.

There's so many things to do,
places to see, and people to meet,

I have dreams of doing it all.
But right now, I'm just going to lay back and enjoy the sunset."

Who couldn't love this piece? It has a great model, a beautiful background that is rightly out of focus to draw attention to the subject.

In general I love this piece because of being bisexual however I can appreciate the artistic qualities, such as the lighting, the use of shadow. And of course you have to love the beauty of the model and this is without even seeing his face.

The only thing I'm not sure about is the pose, it could be so much more majestic for the piece however given the artists comments we as the viewers can't know what you had in mind when you shot this photo. No one can ever understand the minute details and concepts a person has in their mind when they imagine their perfect picture. But you did a spectacular job regardless.

There's a lot to like about this shot - suitable model, great background with good bokeh. There's also some areas which grate initially. The areas which don't stand up as well are the saturation of the model and clothing compared to the low satuation of the bg. The whole thing might benefit from b&w or at least more colour consistency.

I get the feeling that the pose is a touch strained as well - he could have been standing there like that a bit too long.

The lighting of the hair is great - too many portraits go flat due to poor backlighting. The tonal quality of the model is also excellent.

Hope you find this critique helpful!
