I like the counterpoint between the title (to me, a shrug is a simple reflex) and the tension of the muscles, the tension of the shorts acrosss the groin, and the tension of the whole way the model holds his weight in a half squat. The result is some great photographic and erotic energy.

France in my pants! A very enticing study. Mixed color & bw photos can be a cliche, but the choices here get beyond that and work very well.

Another great composition. Great range of tones. I also like the pose; the detail is so effective I feel my muscles stretching just looking at it.

Difficult to add any more than what has been said about what a wonderful portrait this is. It evokes a kind of mysterious expression, Mona Lisa-like, making us wonder what she is thinking. The light play across the face and head works very well.

I love the strong composition and the contrast between the intricate branches of the tree on the one hand and the baren emptiness on the other. Excellent work.

I have looked at this photo many times and still can't tell for sure whether it is color or grayscale. I love the silvery tones which add depth to the intricate shapes woven by the blacks and whites of the branches.

I love this. I feel like I'm viewing a Japanese painting, the balance so carefully composed. It radiates the serenity of order.

I love this photo. The foregrounding of the hands draws my eye with its message of angst as much as the wonderful twists of lines they form.

I love this! It simulatneously evokes two opposites -- a child dying by drowning and a child coming into life (in the amniotic sac). Very powerful.

I saw this one some time ago but I keep coming back to it. You've captured so much humanity in one human face. It haunts me.

A great example of how a good photographer will turn the ordinary into the extraordinary by helping us see it in a different way. The symmetry and sharp focus are perfect for this space-age subject.

Another example of your strong sense of composition. I would be hard pressed to find a better example of how cropping was virtually the only tool used to make this photo tell a story. The feeling is so clear that you really don't need the title to get the point. Great stuff as usual.

A terrific portrait, capturing an almost Mona-Lisa curiosity in the expression. Wonderful control of lighting. The open shirt adds just the slightest hint of sexiness. Wonderful.

A great slice-of-life portrait of a common American scene enhanced by excellent composition.

I love the way the lighting turns a pool table into a glowing pinball machine of activity.

Excellent portrait! Good composition and emotional appeal. Might be nice to burn-in the left side a little bit to frame the photo a bit more.

I like the crisp lines, the expression on the face, and the eyes that pull me into the picture even as they look outside it. The lighting on the face is a little harsh, but overall it's a great portrait.

I like the way the straight lines and square shapes behind the flower give it a kind of accidental frame. Very good use of narrow DOF to focus only on the faded bloom. My preference would have been to burn in (darke) the background a bit to bring out the flower even more. Excellent work, Jorge!

I love the composition of this photo, contrasting the natural and the mechanical, the scattered arrangement of plants at the top and the ordered repetition of machines at the bottom. The shadows to the right of the motorcycle wheels add still another kind of striped pattern that emphasizes the contrasts. Very nice work.

I love the light in this photo also. The mixture of high contrast and muted, almost sepia, colors gives it the look of an art-deco magazine cover from the 1930s. The drama of the skyline reflection in the water is also amazing.

I love the drama in this photo, which is aided by the deep focus and the steam coming from the manhole. I understand Zyle Liu's comment about a fill flash, but in a way I think the darkness of the figures makes them more ominous. A great shot.

I also did a version based on a grayscale version with masks and layers to even out the overall tone but I prefer the high-contrast version.
