Looks like sloth and idle hands to me...wake up man...there's sinner running rampant in the world! Brightest Blessing...one point for every deadly sin. 7 };>)

This light looks a little harsh for the subject; I'd be tempted to soften it a bit, and/or add a vignetted border to focus the brightest part of the light on the face and book; easier to do under Advanced rules.

A pleasure may take for granted.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:1-3

"When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart's delight."

Don't let the low score get you down. The composition is a bit lacking here and the lighting is somewhat harsh.

Yay for this wonderful gift from God. :-D

edit: I have a story to tell you. I viewed this image last night and it remained in my head throughout the evening. When I got into bed I turned to a random Psalm to read before I went to sleep. I found myself reading "The works of the Lord are great, studied by all who have pleasure in them". It's 111:2 in the NIV. And I thought it was so neat to read about taking pleasure in God and his works after viewing your photographic depiction of this "simple pleasure".

This photo may not be the most visually impressive, but as for meaning, it is so amazingly wonderful. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I don't think I will say "Yeah, I'd like THAT!" ...

Hmm looks kinda like a snap shot would be better if he was dressed as a minister passed out in the church? or onfront of it asleep?

More cropping and a shorter DOF would have helped.
