Don't really have high hopes for this one; I just wanted to participate. Shooting started around 10:30 PM on deadline day and I'm writing these notes at 11:30 PM.
"Esquire" because I'm a lawyer, or, if you will, I'm licensed to practice law. It's something I'm still getting used to. Not that you can tell either of those things from this photo. I'm just lousy with my titles.
Lighting: good old clip-on lamp bounced off of silver sun shade; white foam core on other side to soften shadows
PP: Crop, Topaz Adjust, vignette, some HDR-type adjustments to highlights that were too hot, desat surroundings, some selective blur, mucho selective sharpen on the eyes, more vignetting, blueify my eyes, that's more or less it

Pleased to have done well! I got a question about the lighting setup, so I put together this rough diagram:

| One of my favs in this challenge. Nice and warm tones. Great use of shallow depth of field. Good pose too. |
