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.

Like, totally. Not very fond of the noise. The concept is good though.

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!
