The theme of Craig's portrayal of Bond in this promotional poster for Skyfall is relaxed and reassured, but ready to strike when necessary. Craig's face is expressionless but his eyes are directed towards the camera and, by extension, the viewer. It shows that he is unafraid and confident enough in himself to make eye contact with the audience, yet does not want to give away any emotion that could be considered a weakness. Half of his face is slightly shrouded in shadow, which could suggest a mystery to the character. Craig is dressed in a crisp white shirt underneath an impeccable suit. The casual air of the jacket's shawl collar hints at Bond's affinity for leisure and luxury, while the attention to detail in the cufflinks, watch, bow tie, and pocket square show that Bond is still very much a traditional gentleman. This is also shown through his grooming habits, as his face is clean-shaven and his hair is styled in the traditional 'short back and sides' cut. There is a pistol grasped in his left hand. The gun is not raised in any way, not aiming at an invisible target, but resting near his midsection. His other hand is placed in his trouser pocket, which echoes the informality of his attire. Craig's finger is placed on the trigger of the gun. His stance may be casual but he is prepared to fire if the occasion calls for it. We can also see that this incarnation of Bond isn't wearing a wedding ring, which refers to Bond's reputation as a ladies man. This also shows that he is unattached and unencumbered - often the requirements of a spy.
