slightly tigther crop, more rigor mortis on the hand, a little less leading to hand in the heart and drops and i think things would be looking more solid. i sure as hell dont like the 18 1s you got even if it was 4 years ago. i think it had less to do with the photo more to do with the sadness.

Well, I tried keeping shallow dof for 2 reasons
1) it might have made it more "Aaahhh Gross" types
2) my recipe of blood was not good ( as pointed in earlier comment as well ). I did not wish viewers to get distracted by it.

anyways i got quite a few constructive feedback on this as well. I would take those for future use.

The depiction of suicide strikes a nerve for some that have dealt with it in one way or another.

Don't!
Frame it instead!
That's what I'd do if it was mine.

i complete don't understand the 19 !!!!!!!!!!!!! 1's that I got....

Sure the image depicted negativity but to be given less marks for concept is bringing my moral down....

anyways.... I will be Back next year

if you were shooting for disturbance you succeeded; i would have framed the shot differently; foreground white paper is superfluous

Well, this goes to show that difusers aren't only for portraits and nature.
10*.

Dark..and disturbing, especially at Christmastime, although this aptly demonstrates an intensity of Love which some do not wish to contemplate.

Original in a challenge lacking same. Vignetting (lensbaby?) adds a bit of vaudeville as does the direct lighting. I'm marking this high for 2 reasons. It's a good original image and I'm sick of pet and "wedding ring shadows on a bible" winning ribbons.
