This is an ID photo, so a little different, but I would have the subject turn their body ever so slightly - so their torso isn't square to the camera, while still looking at the camera.
 
A quiet corner of Ulverston...

Yum! this reminded me that I'm out of sweets. And it's a nice photo, too.

Thank you very much for the kind words! :)

Here's a Photo for Today... from a local market...

Actually, this is a nice photo. I was going to joke about this being the model for the aliens in Independence Day, but I won't...:)

Great color and light. How are you liking your new camera?

Thanks! It's a great upgrade, I did it mainly for the greatly improved sensor.
All the other nice modern bells and whistles like video were a bonus. :)

I was disappointed with my previous camera's (K20D) low ISO shadow noise on longer exposures, which gave little leeway for pushing and pulling tones. This was a shame because when shooting in my favourite environment, I like to underexpose and pull up.
Briefly considered the 5D III, but in a practical sense the K-5 better fulfilled my requirements for 1/4 of the price of the 5D III.
The K-5's sensor makes a world of difference - you can pull up a RAW file cleanly from near black, and practically speaking that's very useful, and it's AF locks much better in low light (behind stacked ND filters), very impressed :)

Very nice fluid lines in this photo. I like the background/subject contrast. It's a little centered, but I'll give you a pass on that...:) One of my favorite lenses.

Thanks ...Waited probably 2 weeks for this thing to open up . Had the 100 and tripod waiting for it . I'm using a big piece of black mat board for the background , trying to keep it out of the DOF . Doing shooting in the glassed in front porch of my house , which gets all sorts of great light in the morning. Kinda hard to use the rule of thirds on this one.
