nicely observed. not quite sure about the bluish tint on the left side, though; to go along with 'relax', it seems the lighting could be a tad warmer.

Very interesting portrait. Unconventional, yet effective. Good luck!

Unusual pose, but IMHO it doesn't really look "relaxed". Nevertheless an interesting and different shot, good luck in the challenge!

Quality is good but I find the shot to be boring. Really looking for the wow factor in this challenge and I don't see it here.

Doesnt this have to be a 10? The lines, the angle of his head, the worn T shirt, the colors the 5:00 shadow, the expression, movement implied by the weight of the head. Will he fall asleep standing? or will his head roll gently around? Yup, has to be a 10.
