Very original and creative. I like it because it's cool and true.

Cool. No criticisms about this one from me, but there are a lot of things i like about it. The overexposure on the noose gives it a surreal effect and I like the color splash the rose gives. This is just a very good picture, I think. karmat

i love the light on the rope .. where i think this image falls down is the guitar neck isn' t with nearly as much interest. would like to see a good rim light picking up the edge of that guitar neck. one of the more creative images :) .. mag99

I'm glad someone had a way of dissing corporate made music. I'm thinking that people most likely have a problem understanding this or that they think that bright light around the noose makes it flawed, I say well done.

Comment by Journey:
Somehow, I thought of having commented on this image earlier this week (and was somewhat negative about how the bottom of the rope was washed out by the light. Now, I see that as a strength to make it more symbolic). Anyway, I wanted to revisit this image. It is a very strong image and I like it more than when I first saw it. Have been wondering how you did that white light surrounding the rope? It's very cool. Also like the background, the composition and the way you cropped the left. The props you use are very to the point and all represent nice touches. It's a very artistic image and also very eloquent. It does sum things up pretty well, doesn't it. I upped the score a few notches and can't go any higher :)
It's all right on. Journey

Very original shot, very well done. I like the lighting effect on the shirt front. One of my favorites this week.
