hmmm, art or portrait - how does one draw the line? I hardly see this as what he would send a 5x7 and three wallets to his mom - but you were darn creative and made me feel something.
I'm going with artistic expression of an otherwise boring challenge - 7 Nice work - and thanks for making me stop to think! :-)
Terrific shot. One striking similar to the 3rd or 4th place photo in the first color portrait challenge. It may of been 5th, I don't remember as its been a while, but if you look back you will see it too. Nothing to deviate from thinking this will do the same. GJ, and GL.
intense, i wish the table wasn't so shiny because it looks like his trapped behind a nice table and a cool living room, maybe a roughed up table would work better?
