Very nice exposure here. The tree in the background reminds me of the movie "The Ring"....I dont know why exactly...but it does. Interesting feel. Nice job.

I just added this to my favorites. This is a very creative take on the challenge and the image is something that everyone can relate to sometimes. I would like to see this image without the blured light action in the background. Congrats on a great shot! Keep up the great work...I'll be watching you....

Very interesting choice of lighting. Did you spend time setting it up or was that good luck? Nice composure too. A little hot on the high cheek. I have a feeling this image wont get the score it deserves because people will just see it as gross. Photographicaly spectacular too though!

LOVE this image. I may make it one of my favorites. The line that the neck and arm make is VERY strong.

That being said, I will not rate this higher than a 5, because I don't see pain (emotional or physical) in this image. The image is spectacular, but if you showed this image to someone who didn't know the theme of the challenge would they be able to know the message your getting accross? Keep up the great work
