Well I must say its an original photograph and probably one of the most candid. I like the colors, focus, and lighting. Not much I can find wrong because the clutter on the desk makes it a candid look. I don't think it's an above average shot but I do give it a high average on my voting scale 5. BTW cute baby pictures on the wall. Good luck in the challenge.
While this is perhaps a literal translation of your resolutions, there is nothing inspiring or particularly creative about this image and your vices aren't perfectly clear. The computer? The post it notes? The game? The desk? The beer? The peanuts? The cigarettes?
The baby?
More time and effort could have gone into making this an imaginitive and expressive shot.
hey me too.. well, the one on the screen anyways - i prefer EP/PP though.. they seem to have the worst players out of anywhere that i've tried. glad you took this when you weren't actually involved in a hand!
Let's see... babies, post-its, and forgetting to turn on the screen saver? Perhaps removing the objects from their natural surrounding for photographic purposes would be better. I'm guessing it's really beer, peanuts, and poker? Still unsure.

I saw your post in the resolutions thread, didn't even notice the ashtray. You should really edit your post.
