Interesting idea. The lighting in the back takes away from the picture a bit.

i'm no expert but in my opinion the title does not match your shot. It shows pain, alright...but the old cross?

Yikes this is one disturbing photo! Definitely shows pain. Hope you don't get voted down because of the disturbing factor. 10 from me.

Good idea, poor execution.
1. The lighting is great, brings out the detail and draws the view to the center of the piece.
2. The position of the hand is also great, looks like it's contracted in pain.
3. If you're trying for religous conneciton, note that the nails were driven into Jesus' hands and ankles, not wrist.
I still give you a 5 for the attempt.
