The background is needlessly busy; a shallower DOF would have made this a cleaner shot. The b&w and grainy texture was a nice choice, as was the all-black attire. The sloppily-worn hat conveys a sense of ennui, but the facial expression seems more staged than sincere. The chin-in-hand pose does convey boredom, but it's rather trite; since you don't re-introduce interest by shooting it from a novel angle or anything, it's roughly as interesting and original as a frowning face in a "sadness" themed challenge.


Actually , your comment is helpful, but one precision : it wasn't staged at all !
