Shot myself with a flash and a tripod at about 1am after a long party - made me look truly bored :)
in p/p cropped, sharpened, converted to duotone, played with levels. The hand was the main problem I had to struggle with - adjusting the levels for proper face tones blows it out, unfortunatlely (basic editing :() . So, this is the compromiss I could achieve.

this shot is the epitome of the standard boring photo. colors are nice and dull, however i wish the focus wasn't so soft, whether that was intentional or not, it doesn't do it for me.
this is a great capture ... it is very believable ... this guy's a good actor or has had lots of practice being bored ... nice focus, dof, although would have liked to see less exposure on the forearm
