Portrait

This startling photograph is of me with my new 'look'.

On a more serious note, the photo was taken by my mother and I really like the composition which is why I am posting. I am not looking at the camera, the leaning on the wall adds a dynamic sense to the image, the pattern on the t-shirt creates contrast and something of interest to look at and the background is not too distracting and interesting (other than the small green leaf). Thought I would throw it out there....

My only comment is that it's always wrong when hair and eyebrows don't match. Seriously, not my cup of tea. You can't see the lean on the wall so it looks a bit odd, the background is distracting to me with the light reflection. I like the look away from the camera, but with that hair, you look too serious. You should look sad or manic...Ivan

He does look serious, doesn't he! Get someone to tickle you next time, Dam. As for the photo: I agree, nice composition, colours, lighting. Have you tried to edit out that plant in the background?
