Self portrait at work
Put some screens together and put up charts and spreadsheets on them
Scared to put this in as I think it will go badly but I\'m not going to learn any other way then with a few cruel comments from DPC\'ers :)

First Impression - the most important one: You did well not to get cruel comments. This seems to be so totally out of the zone for you .. so good going to enter.
Composition: This is great ... plays well the the thirds and leading my eyes into the shots with the arm taking a slight leading line.
Subject: meets the challenge, but also confirms why I didn't enter. The only problem with this shot is that it is the workplace and the environment, and neither is what I would call sexy .. or interesting. Is a good shot and that is what you have been scored on.
Technical (Colour and light): Clear crisp .. good use of DOF ... nice colours and solid office type lighting.
To grow its vote?: This is the issue .... I think there are few of the top pictures that are taken in their own natural environment (anastasia excluded) ...but that interesting environments were sought out for the pics.
Summary: Great shooting .. nicely away from your 'normal' shots and I think a good stretch for your skills. Well done.

Nice use of environment, nice portrait. I think it would look more natural if he were facing more toward the computer; you could have caught him in partial profile.
