Shower curtain on the right is distracting and the blown out white wall behind his head draws my eyes away from the subject.

Technicals: 0.5/2 - flat lighting, reddish cast from wrong white balance, lack of contrast, slight overexposure

Composition: 0.5/2 - tilted, badly cropped, uninteresting POV, shower curtain distracts

Challenge Relation: 1/2

Originality/Creativity: 1.5/2 - unusual location

Overall Impact: 1/2

5 (challenge relation and originality overweighted)

Thank God for newspapers! The lighting however looks a little flat.

A different idea. Execution could be better in the following ways: Framing of the subject is not quite right and shower curtain is a distraction.
