Thank you all so much for your comments. You girls are funny, If only you knew how cold this water is... he is freezing. Wonder what you get if you mix a hot flash with a brain freeze? LOLLewis P. Church June 16, 2006
Your photography does deserve a lot of attention, you are very good! Usually one is better at male or female portraits, not both. Your images are excellent and whatever technique you use to soften the skin is very effective. You have a way with portraiture! Great gallery. Continued success with your outside gallery. #2902866Carolyn Foster Spano June 16, 2006
Michael. This is FABULOUS!!!!!!!!! I just can't say enough about this shot. I need to study your gallery because I have not really photographed a lot of men. I could certainly learn much from you. Awesome job! #2903416jennifer B. short June 16, 2006
OK, I had to pick up my jaw from the floor. All I can say about this image is yummmmm. #2904334Victoria Patterson June 16, 2006

Fabulous capture, Michael! #2905232Kara L. Hendricks June 21, 2006
Umm.. HELLOOOOOOO... Putting aside the obvious sex appeal here.. This is outstanding photographically... Your shutter speed had to be set really slow to get this water movement.. And for him to be so crisp.. You are either one h*** of a photographer or he is one h*** of a still poser... Either way, you have a winning style Michael.. I love your gallery and often come here for inspiration.. Keep em' coming.. We can all learn from you... #2927930Marcos Medina (M2PhotoArt) June 29, 2006
What an awesome photo Michael!! I saw it and literally said "WOW"! Didn't care too much for the model though....LOL....but it seems as if the ladies enjoyed him. You are so gifted! How did you capture that photo? What is your secret for getting that shot? Excellent work in your gallery....how is the studio going? I want to open my own studio but only until I feel I am ready....please email your response.Thanks #2966929
Michael S. Swaffar June 29, 2006
Thanks you all for the comments.. I've passed them all on to him and hope he does'nt get a big head. LOLMarcie A. Fowler July 10, 2006
He's very handsome for sure. Must be a wonderful model not to let on in his expression how cold the water was. I was hoping it was at least warm for the poor man!!Fabulous job with all aspects of this portrait. Creative setting. You captured both the elements of nature and the human elements extremely well. #3009034
