the lighting for this was my closed with the light on and the door open just a crack to let a line of light hit me. I was sitting in a chair and holding as still as I could to counteract the 5 second shutter speed.

cloaked in shadow to the extent that there's not much details, and the image is very, very soft. Either your focus point was way, way off, or you neatimaged this to death. 3.
I really like the idea here. I think it could have been better executed technically. The lighter portions of the image are quite gray and what we can see if the eye doesn't have enough detail to really draw me into the photo. The figure is definitely cloaked in shadow- too much so for my tastes.
