I wasn't planning on entering this challenge but I was at home Saturday evening and had nothing else going on.
That's me on the couch and I was originally just going to call it "Evening Nap" but the shot had kind of a lonely feeling to it so I converted it to B&W and renamed it.

thanks everyone that took the time to vote and comment. i was worried some people wouldn't know what the title meant but looks like most did.

Initial impression: a very good entry for this challenge. Shows furniture and more importantly there is a story here.
Technical: Great use of ambient lighting; dof good and composition is deceivingly simple but works very well. Like the filter you used, it seems to foreshadow a very long night ahead.
Artistic: The slant and rigidity of your body drives home a sense of discomfort. Love the tiny little blanket/shawl(?), it shows how you're having to make do with what you can scrounge while the wifey gets all the good stuff!
FWIW: Wouldn't change a thing. And you scored in the top 20 so good on you!
oh no, not again!! : ) For some reason the tilted lamp makes this for me. I think it's kinda symbolizing the angry housewife standing over the henpecked husband! : )
