This totally isn't me. I'm prolly the luckiest and happiest guy in the world. Certainly not melancholy.
Anywho, I blew out my infinity wall in my studio.
I played with the raw file settings.
I cloned out some dirt on the floor.
Destatureated the white area.
Did some selective color over the whole thing... messed mostly with the whites too enhance the shadow on the floor.
Finished it off with some levels.

Great composition and you certainly wore the right colors to produce a very nice effect. The body posture and simple chair adds to the pensive facial expression. Bumping up.
Excellent composition here (IMO)! Simplicity at it's best, great use of negative space and it adds because your facing into the photo as if there is something hiding in that white space! I would have burned the shadow out of existence (well out of the photo anyways). Good Luck.
i don't know anything about portraiture, so i'm using your image as a guinnea pig as to what i think i would or wouldn't do in this situation, as well as what i notice and get out of your image.
this rocks! great job, all the way around. the lighting, colors, composition, pose, expression all come together. way to go! 8 from me.
seems flat, you need to either exagerate your side light or add a back light, a perfectionist would do both. but i like the angle your sitting on the chair, makes me unconfortable, i guess thats how i would feel in emptiness 6
