What *is* that?

Me and my Oakleys, using an aperture of f/4.5 at 222mm focal length (35mm equivalent) to shallow the depth of field. Without this bokeh, the background would be too cluttered.

I also used a small reflector to fill in some shadows on the subject's (my) left side.

Yeah, you totally look like Neo from Matrix. Maybe Keanu Reeves as Wilson, the neighbor on Home Improvement. :)

I like having your focus (attention) on something outside the frame. It adds intrigue. The bokeh works well with your coloring. Your dark hair and sunglasses pop out against all the pastels. Nice composition.

You look like NEO in the Matrix. But this also reminds me of Kilroy. you're probably too young to know who that is.

What WERE you neighbors thinking?? ;) I sometimes wonder if mine watch me do some of the nutty things I do... they probably think I am loooopay hehe I like the DOF, it helps you to pop out of the picture. The eyes are certainly not distracted by anything.
