Well done Gunther! The natural lighting is perfection and so is the model. #148031Carol Brill July 22, 2003
Great portrait and lighting, Gunther...I'm not sure whether to show this to my 20-year-old daughter for the beefcake value or my 17-year-old son as a possible senior picture pose! (just kidding!) Very natural looking too. #148095Gunther Allen July 22, 2003
Thanks Kresta, Barbara, and Carol- I've got a whole bunch of models-- all at the last minute wanting their pictures taken now that they know I'm moving in a week to California. All beefcake men the last few days- and some beautiful women in the next couple of days. I'm really getting a feel with my camera and lighting- at least I think I am. All the shots are G-rated and would qualify for 17 mag I guess. Carol- your daughter might just like to visit my gallery here on betterphoto in the next few days to keep up with some of these heart-trobs! - LOL - G #148354Peggy Wolff July 22, 2003
Stunning portrait! great job capturing those amazing eyes and all of his sex appeal. I love the fact that you have that musculur arm in the photo, it adds to the look with out being distracting. The texture of the water is great too. The model is absolutly gorgous. I think this is my favorite of all your photos Gunther. :o) #148364Gunther Allen July 22, 2003
Thank you so much Margaret. The young man's name is Balazs from Hungary. I took at least 700 photos over the last few days and I have to say this kid cannot take a bad photo. This was the first time he ever modeled and I think he has a terrific future as a model. #148413Darren K. Fisher August 14, 2003
Hey Gunther this is outstanding. Great lighting and detail, and one excellent pose. Congrats and the best of luck!!!!! #166153Peggy Wolff August 14, 2003

Congratulations, Gunther, and best of luck! #166805Gunther Allen August 14, 2003
Thanks Darren, Margaret and Carol! I'm so happy this was picked. The elements all came together on this one- G #166813Jean Papo August 15, 2003
Wow, is this ever steamy! What a gorgeous, hottie, and a great pose!! He has a great future modeling, for sure, and how bout the movies too? Congratulations! #166837Dolores Neilson August 15, 2003
I am so mad at myself...I thought I commented on this shot! A terrific portrait!! And since I'm trying extremely hard to not be shallow (and I'm really more interested in the "person"...I'm not going to comment on his good looks !;>)But I am going to comment on how great this portrait is and wish you my very best in the final round! congrats, Gunther! #167521

Great portrait Gunther and I hope someone has signed this guy up. He's a natural. Hope you're settled into your new digs as well. Congrats for your success on this image and for your finalist selection and good luck! RoB #168504Gunther Allen August 15, 2003
