 Shot myself with a flash and a tripod at about 1am after a long party - made me look truly bored :)

in p/p cropped, sharpened, converted to duotone, played with levels. The hand was the main problem I had to struggle with - adjusting the levels for proper face tones blows it out, unfortunatlely (basic editing :() . So, this is the compromiss I could achieve.

this shot is the epitome of the standard boring photo. colors are nice and dull, however i wish the focus wasn't so soft, whether that was intentional or not, it doesn't do it for me.

this is a great capture ... it is very believable ... this guy's a good actor or has had lots of practice being bored ... nice focus, dof, although would have liked to see less exposure on the forearm

Nicely acted! Love the charicature of boredom! Not a big fan of sepia, but it seems well applied in this case.

I think this shot captures boredom so well. Like how you cropped it. Wish it had a little more contrast...would have been even better then.
