Hey All, what are your thoughts, which version?

I like the B&W versions better however I wish that your legs in the first were evenly lighted with the rest of your body.  Number two has your legs vanishing into the dark unknown.  You should be pleased with how well your work conditioning yourself is depicted! Nice images.

I agree with Weldphoto on the B&W being the better ones and the lighting on the legs.  The upper set is the stronger of the group.  If the lighting was balanced between the upper and lower portions of the body the color one would be nice as well. 

The only other part I would point out is the flat-foot of the pose in the first set.  The flexing of the muscles in the torso adds a dynamic feel to the image which fades as you look down the legs.  If you were up on your toes a bit and flexing the legs more the feel would flow through the entire pose.  Even splitting the legs slightly front and back to maintain balance but both legs up on the toes and legs flexed.

One other suggestion to try, just to see how it shows is to lightly oil up.  This can add better definition to the muscles due to the light reflections.  It works for some and not for others but worth a test to see how it looks for you.  I looked at your full portfolio and it looks like the one with the red hoodie you might have been oiled a bit.  The image is very bright to me which does not show off the definition as well.

I can tell you have invested a lot of time conditioning yourself, show it off the best way you can.  Take some time to find how to best show it off.

B&W

Second set b/w is the best. The b/w adds an artistic feel. It does not matter that the legs disappear into blackness - this simply places attention on the torso and this is principally a torso shot, not a legs shot. The blackness serves to frame the image.
