 This is a self portrait I took with my camera's self timer set at 10 seconds. I had to resort to these measures because nobody in the house had the time to be my model, heck, they didn't even have the time to push the button!

This is a great shot - fits the Bored theme well.

The tones are very nice. I can just feel the energy drain out of me while looking at the main subject draped over the couch. The background is a bit busy for my taste. But I like how you kept half your face shadowed. Congrats on the high placement!

I like this very much. I find myself often using myself as a model and I think it's a good idea. It helps you learn to capture a bit of yourself in an image which will help you when photographing other people. You did a good job with this. I don't mind the clutter as it seems organic and ads to the realness of the scene.

Intersting shot. a bit messy (I'd take a clooser framing) but very nice

Idea is good.
BW works well, only trouble is that the background is disturbing.

this is a really nice shot. i like the black/white/greys in the photo. the highlights are on target, and this looks like a pretty sweet studio.

highlights are blown out throughout the photo

Amazing DOF, tack sharp all the way through the shot, contrast seems a bit high causing the shadows and highlights to work against you.

the escence of boredom
the figure is wonderful as is the b&w , I would crop the right the picture at the arm of the couch. That would remove the area to the right of it as it is too busy and isdrawing attension away from the main subject

The b&w works very well, although I would have prefered to see the background blurred, because it can get a little distracting (many elements and strong light). Otherwise, nice shot.

the clutter in this shot really works. Nicely composed.

I love the lighting and the composition. There's something going on with here left hand that's a little distracting (Looks lie there's something on it, or wrong with it, but I can't tell exactly) and she seems to be missing a leg. Other than that, very nice.

L8r,
