Thanks a lot Graig, I appreciate your words coming from am manip artist like you.
The word perfection is flattering but personally I reserve it for the model
I enjoy to share your pleasure in exploring the ways of the artistic eye .....

Yes, the model *is* extraordinary as you say, but it is your photography and artistic eye that puts it over the top. May I ask what post processing you did? I absolutely love the end result.

Thanks for your interest. Separately I enhanced the skin with a HDR treatment and dynamic contrast then the edges by a glow. Afterwards combined the both. The most part of the skin was darkened down and grunged. The effects on the chest were almost all reduced to keep the emphasis on the back, yet providing some depth by showing the chest. All a bit with experimenting. The colour was chosen with a colour filter. The whole was somewhat stretched.
With trial and error about 3 hours work.

Thanks for the detailed procedure. You are, indeed, a genius. Now a question: would you give permission for me to create a few manips on your originals? Of course, I would give you full credit and a link. I also look forward to learning more from you. Thanks.

I am glad that you like so many of my pics and for your test; indeed I don't favour the supernatural musculature myself. This guy is just normal eh well, not normal, near perfect. As is his chest. I kept it in the dark, because this time I wanted to draw attention his very appealing back. That it is a work of art for you, makes me very happy!
