Interesting shot, Eric.
I agree the pants are a bit too dark.
Image would be even better if he were fully obscuring the image by his left elbow (clone it out?) and not obscuring part of the image on the right.
It's a keeper, Eric. Has a real gallery hanging look and feel to it.
He's got quite an admirer to his left, but he seems more interested in the one to his right.
Very nicely done.

Laughed right out loud at this one Eric. He looks postiviely flummoxed. I can hear him, "Edith, is this what they call art?", all while that frame on the lower left looks and laughs at him. Superb.
Is your avatar inspired by the faces? I like the graytones, but the guy's jeans are distractingly dark. And yes, grain is good.
