That's very creepy. Hope you was ok after shooting this?

Thank you for the comments, as my first submission I think I did overthink it and stage it a bit much. The round candle turned out much brighter than I had planned.

I guess what you are trying to convey here is that someone has just overdosed to end his/her life and therefore is eternally silenced. For me the image does not convey silence so much but it does convey that someone has attempted suicide and overdosed and is dead or dying. The mute switch in the background plays some role in all this as well I presume. And what is that brightly glowing ball?
Am I seeing the whole message in the wrong context? 5

Ps. Looking forward to see what your interpretation is and that of other viewers when the voting ends.

Love your idea, and the exection too was beautifull. But I don't like the stereo in the back. Especially not the cables. 5

There is a real hot spot in the image. I am not sure what it is, but it doesn't contribute to the image.

doesn't look very natural, my opinion

The idea is nice, similar to what I wanted. However, the big glowing thing distracts me also although the music player says mute I think this would be much more powerful if it just wasn't there.

Awesome idea, but a bit too "staged"? Cool idea though
