Artsy Silhouette? Or Crap?

[astrostu]

So, I was doing a shoot yesterday, and before everyone got nekkid I tried to get an artsy silhouette. It looked like crap on the camera, but I think I played with the curves and saturation enough to get something that I think looks good but I'm not sure. What do y'all think?

I like it, Stu. Low-key photos appeal to me. I think I need to see photos from after everybody got nekkid for comparison, though, just to be sure.

Lol. No, you don't. :P I'll admit, this was actually me trying to get freelance work and not being picky -- it was a gay porn shoot.

make it black and white and would be great :)

I think it would also be really cool if it was just the head and shoulders, for some reason :)

Okay, I tried B&W and I tried head-only. I'm not really a fan of the B&W, but the head-only is an interesting one. Could be the OCD, but I like that it gives it more symmetry.

Cool, I think both those edits work well :)

I like the last one best :) :P

I think they all turned out all right, but I agree with Mentos in preferring the last two the most. The B&W works fine, and I also like just the head & shoulders crop.

Definitely not crap. :)

I prefer the whole one than the crop because the light works really nice on the floor

I prefer the whole one than the crop because the light works really nice on the floorI like that pool of light, too. :) Very nice.
