At least he looks comfortable for now, if nothing else. Kick your shoes off. Relax.
I like your cropping (or lack of) choice for this image.
The empty space adds to it literally. V.

A lonely man in a world of his own. Nice capture Tricia. Vote.

It seems to me that he is a lonely man, who is giving a s... to his life, probably fed up and then smoking crasily.. this image is great composed, Tricia.. you are fabulous.

This image is more about loneliness than boredom. He has nobody to talk to, and all of that space next to him screams for occupancy. The feet are important here as well -- the fact that one sandal is off and the other on is incongruous. Once again, the colors are energetic but the man lethargic. The cigarette tells us he is awake, not sleeping. And if he is sleeping, he may be in for surprise when the burning butt scorches his finger. You give us much to think about here, Tricia.
