The high-resolution details seen here (for example, the water droplets) is great. The angles and curves of the model are accentuated nicely by the lighting and his pose.

The things that bother me most about this image are the technical aspects and some of the creative decisions I don't understand.

For instance, the water droplets. These could be sweat .If so, then there should be some droplets on his head, face, shoulders, and thighs. As well, sweat tends to gather around the waistband of the shorts. Look at long distance runners and other athletes and study the patterns sweat makes.

Second: As much as I enjoy your lighting, I think it is not as strong as it could be here. Consider why the eyes have so much shadow. They are open, they are clearly looking somewhere, and the model is not in a pose to try and hide himself. So I'm left to wonder is a bit more light around the eyes might make the piece more effective and stronger. It would have more impact for me.

As always, I'm enjoying your work! You are doing interesting things and I'm looking forward to viewing more from you!
