Yeah...lol I bet that is "Hard at work" for lots of people. This meets the challenge well and the colors work well together.
The focus is a little soft, but it's not easy to focus on yourself...u can't be in two places at the same time.
Overall, this idea is good, and has potential. I'd recommend using a model other than yourself, so you can concentrate on composition and focus.

I got this idea from a Seinfeld episode where George slept under his desk when he worked for the Yankees. So I stole this idea. But at least I'm not the only one who took someone elses idea and twisted it to be funny.

IMHO this looks like a simple snapshot. Light is dull; there are unatractive shadows all over the place; the white fabric in the lower right is overexposed, and the focus is off. The humorous aspect is week.

I sure hope he wasn't on watch. I don't really get the humor here but if your title would have been something like "Homeland Security" I would have rolled on the floor. 5

Sleeping with a computer can be very tyring. Could have entered this shot in the Stranger challenge. Good luck.

Oh, the shadow around his head on the pillow is really not attractive to the photo. Looks like it might have been a hard place to get good lighting on, but the shadow is just a bit harsh. I like how he dozed off by the computer. I've been there a few times in my life. The color in the shot is good. Focus is maybe a little soft, however, not enough to be damaging. Nice find. Good luck in the challenge.
