Very good lighting. Detail of face is really clear. I imagine it is an open ended decision. Do ya talk to save your skin, or do you do the noble thing and not give anything away.

Whoah. True emotion. I actually think this meets the challenge brilliantly and the technical execution is absolutely superb. Were you the guy who entered his first challenge with granular? The guy who blew the salt? I like the way you interpret these challenges and the emotion in this shot is tangible.

The subtle decision of the non-subject character (the man with the gun) is a brilliant take on this challenge. To take the life of another human being or not? I'm giving you a 10.

I was initially disturbed, but after pondering this shot for a while I realized what an excellent image it is. People are going to hammer this in voting as they're going to instantaneously lump it with the stupid suicide shots, this is in a different league to those...

Good work, mate. You were one of my few 10s in the challenge.

I don't feel that the image conveys instantly recognizable decision. Great picture! Really good.

Interesting image, if a bit bizarre. The focus is a little soft on the 'gun' and the gunman's hand. Nice look of fear on the victim's face.

BTW, I don't think that's a real gun, but if it was, then this was a very bad idea. :)
