This is more ambitious than I usually see from you, and I like it. I especially like the experimentation of pen strokes for the background weeds and shrubbery, and the way the white of the robe stands out against them -- though I have to fight the urge to take a pen and scrawl on the monitor screen, to put just the hint of a shadow on his shoulder, just to break up the starkness of the white just a tiny bit. But then, I tend to noodle a picture to death sometimes. It's good, really good, and I'd like to see more like this.
