JW Waterhouse's 'Pandora'.

I wanted the wall hangings to be relevant to the rest of the image...the 
"dysfunction" despair poster would've worked too, but been a little 
abrasive...not that "mistakes" isn't, but at least it has the 
hopefulness of other people learning something from them...

I like your use of the shadow concept.  Very evocative.

My bad. :O) I was so excited at the chance to rip those things. Didn't
realize that Tim's piece was satirical too. Would love to see more rips on
them. God, how I hate those pics. Companies spend a small fortune on them
but it's like pulling teeth to get them to spend money on things that
actually allow you to do your job more effectively. It's why I hate work.

Try http://www.despair.com

I've always wanted to hang up Disservice in my office, but I would have to
hide it whenever the corporate office comes to visit.

Wow, I never knew pov could be sexy. That's actually slightly unsettling...

This is a very... sensual image. Nice (although rather daring
in this server... :P )

   Why is it 'unsettling'? Well, of course it can be produced in PoV, 
imagination is the key. Tim has captured it in a rather more vague(?) way 
than the stereotypical space rocket or train coming out of a tunnel, and I 
commend him for that.

  I like it. It's an image where you have to search for the meaning...

I must confess, I started out just copying the idea of the attached 
image, from a one-or-two-second shot in the last episode of the anime 
Paradise Kiss...I rather liked the idea of just the shadow, as it's very 
sexy and sensual...

Doing just the shadow of a Poser figure also has a significant 
advantage: it allows you to ignore all the flaws that are visible if you 
directly look at the mesh.

Since I just did a shadow-themed image, I re-used the scene 
(er...background and sphere-with-image-for-radiosity's-sake, at least), 
but it felt too plain...I decided to add some pictures on the wall to 
give it variety...but I'm ever one for subtlety and significance, even 
if it's not so subtle when you think about it, so I was wandering my 
image collection looking for something that both looked nice and was 
relevant, hence Waterhouse's 'Pandora' and Demotivators' 'Mistakes' (I 
could have used 'Dysfunction', but that, I dunno, seems harsh in the 
context of the rest of the image).  Finally, I added some subdued red 
spotlights to augment things a bit.
