Very well done images Michael!
Powerful..very athletic and presents the athlete very well!
Hopefully they will be part of this football player's college portfolio!
Again very well done!
Nicely done. I might have used a larger light source to create slightly larger catchlights, and perhaps raised the position of the light source to a higher angle so that the catchlights aren't directly in the center of the eyes. The higher angle of lighting will also have a nice sculpting effect on his facial features and muscular structure.
I also thing that perhaps the water/sweat effect isn't working well with your sharpening technique. I think the water effect and the sharpening might be a tad overdone because the combo is creating a lot of extra texture, and in this instance less might have a better effect. One thing that I like to use instead is spray-on sunblock. This gives skin a nice glow/sweat effect, but it doesn't look greasy and doesn't add a ton of extra texture to the skin.

Daniel,thanks for the comments and I see where you are coming from.
When I create a shoot, I try to envision what the final image will look like. I
wanted a gritty looking type of image, thus the reason I choose the light source I did..
In the end, the images came out as I had envisioned. One of the things I love about
photography is that we all have different visions and see things in a different light.
