I think it's excellent, but I also think you need to go into photoshop, isolate his arms and forehead, and get out that yellow.

Thats really awesome looking. It looks more like a drawing than a photo

I like that.

Agree about the yellow in the skin, but also the entire yellow channel could be taken down a bit. Clone out the blanket and also the blown highlights on the ceiling.

I reckon you could restage this and do a proper multi-exposure job. That sofa comes up superbly. I'd be tempted to knock the background out with a very narrow DOF (or move it up against a plain wall) and make the sofa and your mate fill the frame, then really go to town on the textures in the sofa in Photomatix and PS.

Love it! I like the way the pants match the couch - really makes it look like you used the same paint for both. I'm about to pull the trigger on Photomatix..

The first thing that came to mind was "cool" I would say because of the dense of depth. The second thing was, "one yellow arm?" thanks for sharing.

It is different but still a cool photo.
My eyes are almost constantly drawn to the shirt in the background though.
