This perhaps is the most striking shot of the challenge for me. It's not the average snapshot (and that is refreshing after viewing so many trite family, baby, dog, cat shots). You could have gone "out of the box" by just using the dummies in some sort of a pose, but the shot went better. Nice depth of field, and I think the general horizontal angling works. But I'd probably like to see a bit more verticality for this concept. If the title were "sitting on the dock of the bay," then this would be a great vertical angle. But for "suicide pact," maybe showing a bigger potential drop for the figurines would create more tension. In any case, this is getting a 9 when 95 percent of the other entries are getting 2s. Thanks.

I like this idea a lot, and think you've arranged it very well. The grayscale is great, and I like the border. I just wish that the mannequins were in equally sharp focus, and that they were further from the background, to prevent the shadow.
