People can now rethink their assumption that you purposely score low.

Very nice. Personally I like the grain - adds a bit of texture. Of course it is anathema on dpc.

This would look better if something in it were sharp, preferably the vegetables. Lowering your aperture would allow you to increase your shutter speed and freeze the motion. This would certainly sharpen things up.

Losing the yellow tint in the air bubbles on the left side would also help. The picture would have much more impact with just the color of the vegetables, the white of the water, and the black background.

Really the big issue here is not freezing the motion.

Hope that helps. You asked for comments. I'm afraid the ones you received in challenge did you a disservice.

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!

HArd to say. Like them both, but I think the smoke in the entry gives the image a little more to feast the mind on. Both very nice shots tho.
