I don't know if you know it or not, but a comment from zeuszen is a very, very rare thing. This is a great shot - definitely conveys what you intended, based on your description!
Upper 5's it is! And a 7 from me. :) Really good work on this. Probably would have done better under a more directly related challenge topic like "Morning" or something. Well done though.
Wonderful composition. I've never seen a better photo of a bad night's sleep. This photo really says it all. He looks like he doesn't even have the energy to pick up his coffee cup. He got everything ready: the coffee, the newspaper, the glasses, but that was as far as he could get -- the little bit of energy from his night's rest was already drained.
Louellen, Your editing has become MUCH better and this image shows it. I'd love to see a little more contrast in the image to make it "pop" but otherwise well conceived.
