Well done - technically, almost boringly 'perfect' - and kind of camply, well, obvious? For me it's just a portrait with a couple of props thrown in to get that required element, rather than telling me anything interesting about this bloke. Right down to colouring the lamps, and the carefully revealed logo on the tripod, it smacks of an attempt to fulfill an idea of what the community likes. Kind of a shame, given such technical finesse.

Had to make it tough didn't you?
Do I assume this is Nasti's shot of Gary and give it the 10 it deserves?
Or do I assume it's Gary doing a self-portrait and trying to beat me in LOD so give it a 1?

Unfortunately, integrity must win out. Bumping to 10.
Congratulations, on a great portrait!

I think the watch says "geek" a little too much. Is Gary comfortable with that?

Yes! Someone met the challenge and came up with a good pic as well. Nice work, with good lighting and an effective 'environment'.

I thought you were taller, Beagleboy. Nice job anyway. No, no, no, don't expect any long, bloated, critique. You just get a 'nice job'.
