Top 3: Models

Following up on my recent Close-up post about taste in models, I thought it would be fun to compare notes a little more directly.

Over the next 5 posts I'll be sharing small sample groups of models, photographers, and classic physique themes and asking for your personal Top 3. Feel free to rank the choices I post, mix and match, or throw in your own wild-card picks entirely. I'm only showing a tiny sampling in each category, but trying to represent a decent range of tastes and styles.

I'll hold off on sharing my own picks until the end of each day.

Theme of the day: Models


1. Tom January



2. Raul Pacheco



3. Tiger



4. Bill Lamm



5. Ledermeister aka Paul Gerrior



6. Bob Deckard



7. Manfred Speer



8. Steve Wengryn



9. Mark Wolf aka Mark Brandon



10. Bruno



Please rank your Top 3 in the comments or offer other models you'd rank higher.  I also wouldn't mind hearing any reasons for your picks.

*Thanks to all who participated.  With the votes collected our Top 3 Models from this list are: 

1. Lamm
2. Tiger
3. Speer

  5. My votes from this list would be 1. Tiger, 2. Speer, and 3. Wolf. It's tough and there are so many others not on this list, but if I listen to my body, these are the ones that stir me the most.
