 Hmmmmm ..... I'm really interested is seeing what feelings this shot stirs up. Technically, I'm comfortable with the image as I am for suitability considering the theme. Though the image may not score well, it will certainly draw in a bunch of feedback which ..... I guess it is what an image is supposed to do.

I didn't get it until I read the comment about suicide.

Nice setup shot. I think for those dolts out there like me, it might work even better if there was a shadow on the wall showing the rope or something else making the connection a bit more literal to the viewer.

Personally, I would up the threshold on your unsharp mask. The grain in the back wall is oversharpened and a bit of a distraction. Picture size is a big no-no. Always submit full size. All in all, not bad. I think it scored right about where it should in my mind. Nice work!

I think this is probably my favorite of the challenge. Great dramatic lighting, perfect composition (interesting choice of a square crop). I'm a sucker for this toning and then there's that title. Perfect! Bumping up. :)

I am not usually one for suicide pics but I think this is wel done - and the title adds a good touch of humor. Take advantage of the 640 pixel max especially with square (or almost square) crops. It really makes a difference on the first impression when you have an image that fills the screen. 7

I attempted to do something like this for this very challenge. You pulled it off whereas I could not. Good for you!
