Nice lines. I find the blue shadows a little distracting, they draw my eye away from the model. Her skin also seems too smooth, kind of fake.
Overall a beautiful photo. 8.

No Way Out...

It's a bit dark, there will be people who miss the black eye. It may also be a bit too subtle, I think many will miss the bottle in the mans hand.
That said, I love it. Great tone and color choice and I like that it's slightly off tilt to create a bit more tention. I also like that she isn't making an exagerated face, the photo speaks for itself without the acting that many others (myself included) had to employ. Nice work!

Pain in the S

Well, it's got homor going for it...
Too contrasty for my tastes and it's out of focus.
I do like the sepia tones.

Contradiction

Too close and out of focus. This looks like a doll rather than a real child, I think that's due to all the noise and maybe because it's in black and white.

Pain for Philly

You've done a good job with the photograph, but I think it's a stretch for pain. Especially since the man is dancing...my two cents. 7.

All my pains

Comment:
Brave! And although I can't put myfinger on why, I really feel that this conveys pain. You've created interesting lines. I think I'd like it better if it weren't so obvious that he is covering his privates. There are poses that will hide what needs to be hidden without the cupping of the hand. Just my two cents.

I can't tell what I'm looking at. Stacking dolls?
No idea where the pain is...

Poor Kitty Crying Over His Dismembered Tail
by Catbird

Comment:
Well, it's obvious you put some work into this photo, and it's funny, but...
...I don't think it's a very good photograph overall. The background cloths are wrinkled and the cat's not bleeding. I would have cropped the back of the cat off so that we couldn't see that the tail was already gone. Although that wouldn't be funny because then we wouldn't no that it didn't have a tail...hmmm...I'm really not sure how to make this phot work, but it was worth a shot, eh?
