Can't come up with a title.....
I was playing around with my speedlights again and almost missed the light coming through the window I am sitting next too here. Ironically no speedlights were used (or harmed) during the shoot.
Converted to B/W with channel mixer and a HSL layer under it. Soft light layer blend .

It looks as though there is some pain or defeat in the facial expression, maybe just had a fight with a loved one, or maybe deep in thought about a decision , so I would name it something like "After the Storm" , "A Moment to Reflect", or "Lost in Thought".

I may be way off, but maybe this will help you think of it in a new way.

"Why the hell am I taking pictures of myself every day????"

I do like the BW on this. I think the light is a bit bright on your shoulders, it kind of washes out.

Title's just fine the way it is. :P This is probably one of my favourite of yours, for the natural light, the natural unaffected pose, and the uncluttered environment. There is a very slight lack of sharpness that I think detracts very slightly for me - such a nice portrait demands razor sharpness in my opinion.

this looks like it should be a poster on a teen-aged girl's wall ... fantastic job ... and might I add, super sexy ;)

Love the natural light. Very nice focus and tonal range here. How about "Can't get you out of my mind" or "No ticky, no laundry!"

Damn good lighting! A title, eh? ... ...

I gotta say, natural light is the best in my opinion. You look like you are waiting or deep in thought. Or maybe you are just waiting for the dryer to turn off, so you can get a shirt and put it on. LOL

I like the profile. I might crop up just past your belt buckle. It wouldn't effect the integrity of this shot. I like it for it's purity and emotive qualities.

I agree with nixter about the watch...unless, of course, you have a tan line where the watch is. If so, then keeping it on is better. Great lighting. Natural light is usually my main source of light in many of my portraits.
