Not only is this very well done but it hits the nail on the head.

I'm really surprised this didn't score higher, but I'm not known for picking the winners. Still a good score and some biting commentary.

cool pick, nice set up, edgy processing works well here

I think perhaps it is a *bit* overdone - I would have preferred to see one element, like the rope *or* the chain. But otherwise it is quite a stunning image and I think you did a great job with it. The background is nicely chosen and I like the contrast in all the colors of the figure, and the eye makeup is quite good at bringing out the eyes.

Great setup - sharp with vibrant colors

Expecting to see this in the top ten, if not a ribbon. The photography is pretty good, but the concept conveyed is great.

So, did you buy the ballgag as a prop for this, or do you just have them around? (Not expecting an answer to that, I'm just feeling like a smartbutt this evening.)

This picture is an oxymoron. I like your post=processing. Good Job.
