This is sort of tongue in cheek, due to This Thread!, I couldn't resist!

I am expecting low 5's, as I have a face for radio, it was super-lastminute and its not very nice. Taken with the 10-22 and just placed the camera on a shelf opposite with the timer, iso 1600 as it was so dull.

Back for a comment: you were out to get a particular image and you nailed it 100%. Yes, it was never going to do well with the voters, but I have laughed out loud once I "got it" which to me is more important. Great "out-of-the-box" shot.

Some blurriness is distracting, but overall well executed.

So he's in a library, the picture itself is tepid at best.

Maybe a touch too dark none of the very light zones in there

I like his facial expression. Could just be me, but maybe a little dark around his face?? Still, a great image.

Great composition and idea. It seems a tad dark, and maybe if he were looking perplexed as he read the book instead of making eye contact with you, it would be perfect.

Evolution occurs only when it is spurred on. Set into motion. The chain reaction is Evolution, and there is always an alchemist at the helm.
