(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) WOW, at first glance, this is a photo that really grabs my attention. Your use is red is perfect, and the diagonal leading lines is a very powerful image maker. Then there is that face..... strange, weird, unreal, scarey.
(2) BACKGROUND The red background is maybe the very best thing about this photograph. It would not have done nearly so well with a different color.
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL The DOF is very good, all of the important parts are in sharp focus. Your composition is very good as well. I love the lighting you have used, there are a few harsh shadows, but those add to the overall feeling here.
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL Your post processing is good. Saturation is good. Colors are vibrant and bright. I have read some of the comments about grain, and when I look closely I do see that. It does not distract from the overall feeling of the picture though. Its sort of like one of those old black and whiter movies.... the grain just adds to the feeling of strangeness.
(5)MEETING THE CHALLENGE This photograph does a very good job of meeting the challenge.
(6) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO The subject here is an everyday object, photographed in a new original way. I like this very much
