This is serious!

You wouldnB4t think so from the military stance, but all this guy is doing is listening to a museum tour guide :)

IMPHO the tilt helps emphasize his body language - what do you guys think?

He looks like a U.S. Secret Service agent, bored as all get out, and ready to pounce at anytime. The angle does work to emphasizse his straight posture. The photograph would not be as strong without it.

You think all he is doing is listening, but the truth is quite different.

sorry, but the little line sticking out of his head just ruins the image for any purpose, imo.

Don't you see it? The little line is the key. He doesn't have good posture; he is hanging by the chain. He is a human candelabra. Dean

When I first saw the chain, as the photo scrolled down, I really thought this was some kind of kinky bondage pic! BTW, why is this so "serious?" Sorry, I'm just not "caught up" in this photo at all.

Well Todd, I guess the truth is that itB4s just not serious at all - I just happened to think it was a fun pic of my voodoo keychain :)

Sorry for the disappointment - I donB4t do kinky - on or off camera :)

Most of the time objects sticking out of peoples heads are a bloody nuisance,but sometimes they just do surprising and even amusing things to a picture - I thought this might be one of those cases...

Thanks for your responses everyone :)

I love it. The keychain effect makes it look like he is in storage or something. Maybe they take him out of the closet when they have to downsize a bunch of people, film an X-Files or 'Terminator 4'.

The sharpening on the image adds cool and faint halo effect -almost like fog around a something pulled from the freezer in into a humid room.
