first thing that came to mind really.
had a free night after work so set up my ghetto stuff and start doing the hitting hte self timer and running into place sort of deal.
i wanted to get more of a spotlight on the weights but i got to lazy to change it up.
only editing was raw conversion and levels. oh and burned the bottem a bit to take away some of hte distracting carpet.

How are you doing today? I am going to touch on a few items with your image.
Colour;
Your colour looks fairly nice here, I just think there is a bit to much yellow on your chest, which could be from your spotlight? everything else seems to balance nicely, the blue/gray of the shorts matches the weights, your skin tone matches the carpet, bottle lable matches wieghts. Very nice job.
DOF/Focus;
Focus looks really great here, everything apears to be in focus. I can even make out the carpet strands, and read the beer label.
Post;
You didn't do much for post, and mostly it appears you didn't have to. The blacks look black the lights are light, and the medium tones are nice. One thing I might have done, is maybe dodge a bit on the chair, to see more of the leg coming down, and a hint of seat. Just a horizon't glint you might say. The way it appears now, at first glance you seem to be floating.
Off Items;
As I said before, your chest seems a bit yellow. Also, the back of your head fades a tad much I think into the background. A really soft highlight to see the back of your head may give a stronger feel. You could do this with a reflector.
Other;
I think this is a clever idea. You captured the procrastination very well. I just noticed the beer cap still on the bottle? I am assuming it was left to see the top of the bottle., if that is the case you might have angled the light a bit different to get the top. But if that is not the case and a highlight.. than you are good to go.
I think this is a hard challenge to pull off. It seems a difficult subject to portray in a photograph, but you did it. Best of the challenge IMO. Good Luck.
