Hey guys I really appreciate you taking the time to critique this.  I've taken detail notes and am going to post a new screenshot here soon based on everyone's suggestions.    Conniekat to answer your question I'm going for a professional 3d comic feel.

I'm gonna correct the following.

  1. Left hand side heavy. 
  2. Lighting.  I'm going to cut back on the amount of shadows but kick up the ambient occlusion.  Also the extra lighting on the models face, body is a result of "mirror lights" that will be visible in the next scene.  He is standing in front of a mirror with lights mounted on the walls at the side.
  3. Adding lamp texture
  4. Toned down the dresser's highlights.
  5. Offset the camera slightly.
  6. Adjust the hair so it doesn't appear so tight.
  7. Perspective adjustment on the camera.
  8. Adjustment to the skin texture.
  9. Adjustment to the wall & Carpet texture. Scaling them so they are smaller.  Changing the carpet texture to something more like a home than an office.
    10.  Left hand gesture will be viisble in the next scene.  But I tried my best to show a little elbow.
    In response to ConnieKat's reply.
    *"Room decor seem a bit disjointed. Modern design office or waiting room armchairs chairs next to traditional furniture, next to a fridge, office carpet with Craftsman style baseboards???? I can't even begin to figure out what the room is supposed to be.  Is it a porn movie set? "

lol.  Cheap studio apartment in a bad neighborhood / porn set.  More studio apartment than the latter but a hybrid of both is what I was shooting for. 

*"I don't mean to bite your head off here. I'm trying to give you an example of what kind of detail 'professionals' tend to spot when they are measuring up another professional's work, or someone submitting their artwork for professional level judging.

This would fall under a good amatuer attempt with good growth potential."*

Biting my head off? No way this information you are giving me is exactly what I was looking for.  I'm very happy that it is a good amatuer attempt at least :)

Once again guys I appreciate taking the time.

I'm gonna have another screenshot up in a little bit.
