Always a pleasure to 'see' you Vikas! Very clever and very well-done. So, will I see this magazine on the stands? --Melanie (mlynn)

Vikas, I love so many of your entries but sometimes I struggle to fully acknowledge them through some technical (non photographic) point. There are no such restrictions here. This image is absolutely fabulous. It it beautifully lit, the pose in the chair is perfect, the fingers holding the magazine are highly dynamic and of course it turns out you are devilishly handsome. Bravo. I do however think the self portrait image is a few pixels too big, it obscures the spine of the magazine, reduce it by 8-12 pixel and it will be flawless. But I'm sure you knew that... Regards, Najinsky

40, that's nothing, barely out of nappies/diapers! I wish I looked that good when I was 40. Though I did guess from the stunning portrait of your sister in the last challenge that you weren't an old man (had no idea about the beard question). Excellent work, as always. Alastair

Thanks a lot theFly, yup it was me. Guess you saw the pic before I could put my name on it. :- ) Thanks Richard, appreciate it. LOL Lonnit, thank you. Intention was actually to draw attention to my mug but this is fine too. : -) Thanks CameraShy, I am flattered. It is indeed a great magazine and I try and get a hold of it whenever I can. Thank you! Shu, you are ever so kind. Thanks a lot. Not so young anymore though (40 years on the planet already… gosh!) :- ) I must say I had a big smile on my face after reading your comments on my SP (kind of imagining myself with a beard …. Hmmmm, I probably wouldn’t recognize myself) :- D Mikey, thank you! Wish I could turn professional but then maybe photography wouldn’t be as much fun…. dont know…. But thank you for your lovely words. Bob, thanks and really appreciate it. CJ, thank you. :- ) Michael, appreciate your comments, thanks. Cheers, Vikas.

Fantastic SP Vikas! It looks like you'll be duplicating Arnold Schwarzenegger's success as "MR Olympia" for 2006. Very creative and wonderfully executed image. CJ

What can I say to excellence except "excellent". You should be making lot$ of money taking pictures, Vikas, and leave this amatuer stuff to us duffers. -mikey

Mighty handsome! (SP AND photojob.......!!!) Again, this one is hard to beat and in this challenge, one needs not only a great idea, but ALL of the tools necessary to bring his entry to fruition. If I may add, I've never seen a SP of Vikas, but I must say I pictured you as an older man with a long beard and piercing eyes. Your demeanor is so very mature that it's surprising a young man has emerged from the shadows. (applause) shu

Photography Monthly is already my favorite magazine. With your face on the cover I would buy two. Nicely done. - CameraShy09

Simply excellent, Vikas. You have a way of raising the level of the game... and inspiring others (such as yours truly) to go back to the drawing board... again! :-) Both photographs are really good and the photoshopping out of this world. Compliments. Regards ~jnconradie
