I'm pretty frustrated at the moment because of my sickness and being in complete loss for good idea's so this photo is a lame attempt to show my mood of the moment.
The lighting was made of two lamps i placed together to the right of the image to get deep shadows.

Hello, Greetings from the Critique Club. As requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.

Please keep in mind this is a personal opinion. This is also my very first critique for the CC ;)

My first impression was a good one. Great visible textures.
The composition looks pretty good, though my eyes keep going to the lighter right part of the image. The sheet seems to look a bit too straight, a couple of wrinkles might have fitted better.
The subject is recognisable, and clear. Everybody has been angry once in a while ;)
Focus is spot on, and in a way you can see the textures of the hands and the sheet. That looks great! I'm not quite sure about the colors, the hands look a bit too red. Have you tried B&W with this image? Or maybe a B&W-layer, with an opacity of, let's say, 75%. But it all comes down to taste, and I think this is what you were looking for. The light might be a little brighter at the left side of the image.
The border seems to fit in this kind of image, but it's not my personal taste.

I like the fact you've tried something different then the "usual" heat. This is a unique idea for the challenge, and I think you did a great job overall.

I hope you've found this critique helpful. Good luck with future challenges!

A great shot! Composition is great and really conveys a feeling of anger or frustration.

Definitely an unusual and original take on the challenge. The more I look at it the more I'm convinced that there's really nobody inside the shirt, and that reduces the effect.

This is a very good pix. However, I am not convinced. Great light, nice comp, nice texture, good color.

Technically well done but pretty far streching considering the challenge. Hard to conect without the title.
