Interesting interpertation of the challenge, but it's really tough to see how your photo is a coup de grace. I guess the blurry stick was supposed to be the weapon? All I can see behind it is some hair. Great idea, but poor execution (no pun intended). :-)

Not sure I quite understand. The blurred stick in the middle of the picture is quite distracting.

This is the third time I have returned to this entry trying my best to figure out what it is. All I really see is hair and a pole of some kind but it is impossible for me to establish exactly what the image is or in what context I should be recognizing it as relating to grace--of any kind (I'm afraid your title isn't helping much). I do like the lighting on the hair and how it brings out the highlights so beautifully. Other than that, it's just not all that interesting a shot.

Means something in french, but far away from the topic of this challenge. To be honest, the play on words is not adequate here, and the picture doesn't show enough to be legible.

Thanks for all the comments. Lego-guys have usually done almost as well as the little wooden action figures.
For everyone who wanted the comparison, here is the color original:

Ah takes me back that does... I'd like to see a colour version of this actually, to compare them, but hey, great shot! Simple but effective!

Very fun image. I like the use of black & white, the use of space is good - increases the alone/solitude feeling. Great composition anf focus. Nothing I'd really suggest changing. 9
