    That title alone...

    ...made me curious to see what the pic was.

    I like it, Toby. It's a cool shot with a perfect name. I like the way you used indirect lighting, rimming the hair to show form, but leaving the face a bit mysterious in shadow.

    Thanks Steve glad you liked it

    The first thing John (in the photo) said when he saw it was "DAMN I'm sexy..."

    LOL

    Well I was going to compliment it, but if I do I'm worried it might further inflate your friend's ego. Seriously, nice shot. Raz your friend a little and tell him he would only look "marginal" if he didn't have you to take dramatic photos of him.

    I like the lighting. Good use of DOF to isolate the subject. Looks like you and your friend had fun making this image.
