I don't like to see the name of the challenge (new) used in the title... too cliche or something. There are lots of other, more creative ways to express it. The syringe gives me a creepy feeling, but I understand it's meaning. I might have cropped more to eliminate more of the dark edges. But a great addiction... dpchallenge. Creative!

I totally understand the message being portrayed here, but I am not sure I like the presentation of it. The needle seems really harsh and kind of scary. There are other addictions that seem less nasty. I think that comparing a drug addict to any of us DPChallengers is kind of degrading. It's like saying that I used to be a heroine addict, but now I take pictures and post them on this web site. I know that's kind of what you were trying to portray, but I don't think any of us can relate to this particular comparrison. Chocolate, now there is a more realistic transition. I use to be addicted to chocolate, but now it's DPC all the way. I could be misunderstanding this, but I definately think a less harsh addiction would have been more appropriate. Setting that aside, I like how the addictions are lit up and there seems to be nothing else in the world but those addictions. (portrayed by the darkness) Maybe if you set the old addiction in the background a bit, and lighted just the new addiction, it would seem like the old addiction was slipping away into oblivion and the new addiction was completely taking over. Good luck with the challenge.

This is inventiveâ€Â¦ It's also a great shot. And yes, we can all identify with the message. I think it'd do well even if it was a poor picture - but it isn't. It's sharp, the lighting is superb and it's great use of macro. Composition is fantastic (love the subtlety of the little pile of coloured bits :) You have excelled and I sure this is going to do really well. (10+++) Good luckâ€Â¦
