This picture of Joe (tipa24, MM 17849) is a killer photo. I am a guy and I find this picture sexy, convincing, sensual and best of all fun. And works so well in b+w. An equivalent with a woman would work just fine. But please no bikinis. Jeans are real good.

It is a really good image. I like shots that are editorial in feel.

Your South American illustration is cooler and sexier.

There is an unpolished, unglitzy unMM look to it that makes it stand out.

I enjoy being able to see the smile lines of his face.  The black and white really captures this well.  There is a real genuine feel to it and I think that will always capture an audience.

absolutely. the composition is faultless (rule of 3rds) and i would guess that there are tones in every zone.

Definetly has that "just woke up" look going on. Very casual and real. Personally I don't find it sexy but its a good photo.

Definitely has a "real" feel to it, no doubt about that!  I like it a lot.

This shot plays exactly to commentary I provided on another critique regarding the technical aspect of photography.

Is this a finely crafted technical image?  No.  Does it engage the viewer?  Yes, most definately.

A splendid example of capturing the moment that substantiates it isn't just about the photographer and technical craftsmanship, but capturing what works hard to fulfill a purpose beyond just lighting the field of play.

I can well imagine there are many that will view this with the thought in mind, "And good morning to you too!"
