Making my first personal public appearance in a challenge - be nice! :-) Not a winner, but definitely representative of many of my college nights. I'm expecting around a 5.2, as there is no WOW factor, 5.6 if I am lucky - missing that update button! :-)

The photo is just missing the WOW factor. It is a good composition idea - very appropriate title - good lay out for the picture even - but the guy is trying too hard to keep his eyes closed -- so it appears staged instead of believable. And the lighting is awesome, but because it is an "all-nighter" he would generally have a lamp for light - but it is missing. All in all this is a pretty shot good scores here!
nice photo but i think that this should have been taken in b&w to emphasize the mood of the picture i would have also enjoyed to see the light turned down a bit to re-enforce the idea that it is a all-nighter. nice shot and idea and im soooo refreshed to not be looking at an apple, pait of glasses, or a stack of books! 7
Oh my. Memories from yesteryears! Of all the falling asleep images, this by far stands out among the pack. Physics? Props are good and exposure is spot on. A slight yellow tint to the skin but nothing detremental to this image. But why is the coke still "unopened"? Great job.
