Isaac (IsaacM88) with a broken coffee mug, laser-printed sign and backdrop. Ugly fluorescent light at work, high-ISO setting to emphasize graininess and muddy, harsh contrast typical of these shots. Low angle cause him to have to look down, the resultand top-lighting helping create the five o'clock shadow look and the bags under the eyes.

Good composition and literal take on the challenge. Looks like a capital offense to me. A number rather than BUSTED might have been better on the sign. Very noisy, but I'm assuming you intended that.
Heh - he's tryin' too hard not to laugh. The grain and grayness suits and is quite representative of mug shots. I like the duality of the shot with the broken mug, too!
