Self imposed prison - A self portrait from the eyes of a business owner

This is something im putting together... I still have some work to do on it, but would like to stick it here to get some feedback and different perspectives on it.

The idea is that as a business owner, i am in a self enclosed prison. Chained ot my work as it is...

the main point i would like to get across is that the prison door is open... but i chose to stay in and work.

other ideas i plan on doing is some chalk scratches in the wall to signify time spent in... maybe some pieces of paper with ideas taped to the wall... and a few others.

Let me know what if any thoughts you guys have on the photo...

thanks

I would use a better looking desk like an office desk. There doesn't appear to be a door It just looks like a bunch of pipes. I think the concept is good but you need a little more work on the props. I too am in this same prison. I could be watching T.V. or swimming but I'm choosing to clean up my PBase account and read some forum threads here.

what about having a door partially open? or an open padlock hanging from the bars somewhere?

It just does not look business like IMHO. The guy in the chair looks more like a punk than a business person and I would use a different desk and probably a different chair as well. The monitor should show a spread sheet or something like that. It is also not clear that there is an open door.
