An entry that goes beyond the dissassembly and tells an emotional story. I love it!

A very emotional shot. The focus makes the photo look as if it scene is being viewed through tear filled eyes.

Comment by jamesgoss:
I don't mind the blur. Initial reaction was "yeah, I've felt that way." Second reaction was "wait, what exactly happened?" I can see the title being a reference to the phone (?) being broken, but the reaction of the female doesn't quite match. The pose isn't really one of physical pain, but I don't quite get emotional pain either. I could see this being more along the lines of anger, or a temper tantrum, or some quick loss of control... but not really "hurt".

The texture in the foreground is good, despite being OOF. I wouldn't mind seeing a tad more low end contrast. Cropping feels right (almost, just get the toe in there)

overall, 6

I like the light coming in from behind. It would have been nice to have the bits of the phone all in focus though.

yes, nothing is in focus, but nonetheless I like this picture... it tells a story and the blur and grain add to the mood

Wow, I am not usually a huge fan of the 'make it look grotty on purpose' shots, but this one packs a punch. Nicely done.
