Reason: Dennis' transformation from his youth is amazing. He trains 'hardcore' in his private backyard gym and has built an impressive physique. He's also turning out to be a great physique photographer (especially considering that all of his progress photos are using a tripod and self-timer). Imagine what he can do if/when he takes photos of someone else. Awesome job, Senor Gonzalez! I'm proud of you!
Reason: I'm inspired by John's muscular density and level of conditioning. Plus, his most recent avatar rocks. Speaking as a professional photographer, I think the lighting in that photo is fantastic.
