Great! I like the color depth you chose. ("greyscale" depth...??)
I wish you could have done something else with the nip ... I wish it looked more like part of a true landscape ... a boulder, or tree stump, or pond or soemthing ... Drink Coffee. Do stupid things faster with more energy.
I assume this is a self-portrait. It's cool. It has a double visual meaning and that's always good. It's also sort of a humorous image - at least I think it is. And I don't mean that in a negative way. It just makes me chuckle. I see it first as a landscape, and then distinguish the body parts and it makes me smile :-)
I'm not 100% sure about the sky. It doesn't quite fit for me. On the other hand, the not-quite-fitting may be adding to the weirdness of the photo. I'll give you the sky, I guess. Deal?

Well at this time it is the only such sky I have, in the digital format anyway. So I guess it will have to do for now. I plan to redo this one at a later date, so I have been keeping my eye open for a good cloud day.

John, I dig the sky. It makes this picture funny in a very clever way. Just imagine the same thing on a plain studio background. It would be just a figure study, original, but fugure study nevertheless. The sky brings a feel of a naive attempt to mimic nature, which works like a charm here.
your messing with my mind on this one. it doesnt look like a landscape but theres sky so it probably is. yet it does have some "human characteristics" i cant seem to figure it out. great exposure and lighting though
