get it ? like he's so "senior" he's a skeleton!!! OMG I'm funny. Anyway, I think Senior portraits verge on nauseating for me on occasion so I thought this was funny.

Good thing you were just "Clowning" around Colorcarnival.:-)
Fact: I can lift 120lbs 7-ft in the air, I'm not a "senior", I'm not Joe King. Oh, and the photo, it should've been in the top 10.

lol - is that you or John? The "senior" would be most fitting then if it were him (hehe j/k John). This is a scream. Love the minimalist effect. The pose is so senior too lol.

Fantastic shot! The suit in the gritty surroundings is very fitting.

Very strange. Reminds me of another photograph I've seen but can't pinpoint it. I like how the environment is every much a mask as the one the subject wears. The composition, superb! In my top three. Good luck!

Excellent location, and a great perspective to show it off.

Excellent use of lines to add drama. Toning is also well done - good strong shot here.

Too small a subject and too much negative space for me. However it would work if it was darker and he was dressed and acting evil rather than like a casual businessman.
