The motif is Rorschach of the Watchmen.
I've toned down the colors and made them sephia-like to add that "old" retro feeling to it. The "grittyness" wasn't intentional... but the more I looked at it the more I found it suitable and fitting.
I'm a sucker for silhouettes and shadows so hence the darkness of the pic...

It doesn't show, but in the hand he's holding the Watchmen smiley complete with stain and all... Pity it didn't come through...

The phrase "Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes" is latin for "Who Watches The Watchmen" and it's a reoccuring phrase from the graphic novel Watchmen.

Yeah, the lighting is good... especially considering that it's only the SUN... nothing else...

Nice work.I like it like it is,but would also like to see what it looked like if the light from the window was burned to make it dimmer and accent the subject which is the focus of the photo.

Yeah, I'd love to have a better shot of this too, but alas it's the only one I've got... :(

Perhaps I'll do a reshot when I get a digi-cam... I've still got the outfit... :D

Oh, and thanks for the comment... :)
