Great concept and nice composition. I like it and the shadow did not impact on me until you mentioned it... so no big deal really.

I am wondering how it would look if you dramatically reduced the lighting to the major bright areas so that there is not so much contrast between the lighting on the 'sculpure thinker' and that handsome devil on the RHS. ( ... the shadows would not impact then and it might be even more dramatic). Great post either way

If the Shadow bothers you, I would think that it could healing or cloned tooled out...(on third look, maybe not, it extends too far down)though it doesn't bother me. Best Wishes, Traveller (good image regardless)

Ah, Traveler, I've always thought this shot had a few serious flaws and is not as well constructed as it could be. First there is the unfortunate shadow of the thinker on my face. Second the sharpness near my ear is a bit soft. The hardest thing to accomplish was getting my hand to closely match the position of the thinker's hand.

I was definitely without shirt for this photo but I'll admit to no other details about the rest of my attire! LOL!

I had fun doing this shot and that's why I posted it here.

Makes me smile...but I also note that it is a very well constructed image. Both of you are nude, as it must be. Best Wishes, T
