Took this as a light test for the animal/person challenge. I know it wont score well but I like it. It's not a pretty image - but then I am not a pretty guy. This will probably be my last entry for a while. I believe I need to take a break. But i am sure I will be back.

Hiya Timfy... Lost a little weight? This is very nicely done. If I had a nit, it would be that the angle of the head is just enough down that your eyes are rolling up to look at the camera, it looks particularly odd witht he left eye (your left).
And a good morning to you ;-) Grungy presentation is interesting; body language with those hunched shoulders is positively pathetic. Certainly not an ordinary portrait!
This reminds me of the opening scene of the movie, "The Inside Job." A matter of fact photo, of a model with a matter of fact pose. He looks like he's looking, just at me. Nice work!
ok, here are a couple of things that bother me...let me first start with what I like...your colors and tones are spot on...your lighting is very good. BUT your slumping...straighten that back, pull those shoulders back...find your spine...(you have that computer "slump")..I even like your expression. Those 2 things on the position of your body will send out a totally different message...(just MHO, I'm a mother what do you expect...lol)
