Thanks for the kind words, Alex.

I went ahead and took your advice and then some! I like the background and may leave it flat, but let me know if it needs something else. If anything, I am thinking something geometrical but it might be fine alone.

I am concerned about my choice of the white shirt, I hope it is not overpowering. I'm trying to use skin tones in it to keep it unified, but maybe it's just to light of a value. I've also been toying with including my tattoo, whick goes across my chest with a medallion shape in the middle, but again I don't want it to be too distracting.

I have been using the flash to take my pictures on these, and since it seemed to lean a bit too blue I've attempted to color correct this. Some of the variations in the chest and shirt may not be showing up and some of the colors may be a bit warmer. *shrug*

The size of the whole sheet of paper is 24x18".
