Brendan is learning a few things about being photographed as a result of being one of the cast of Fox's popular Lie to Me show. Almost a real smile- if not a real smile- the way his checks are up and creating creases on the outside of his eyes. He might even have a slight tilt to his head. Brendon keeps his hands out of his pockets, although it would be better if we would see the palms... and his feet are open.

I give him an A-/B+ for the pose.

He is learning the 'rules' of body language, but if you concentrate too much on the rules you becomes slightly unnatural. Once you learn a few things you have to practice them until they actually part of your natural movements. I suspect he held this pose for a few beats too long. If you really want to appear interesting and open there also has to be movement from one of several open positions: Open arms like you would want to hug someone; one hand on heart; etc.◦
