I was trying to think of a product that would use this type of imagery, I wonder what you imagined. Perfume, anti depressants, AIDS awareness, battered women. She has a bit of a furrowd brow and that evokes a troubled feeling. I would like a little more light in her right eye but I think you accomplished your goal. Very nicely done.

The idea is good but the technics need working on. The left side of the face is too blown out and the focus is a little too far off to be considered soft. Keep at it!

Composition/Content Good imagination in viewing the farthest handcuff through the near one. Nice and simple image makes it interesting. Both the angle and the perspective combine in a unique way to present this image. Solid white background was a good choice.
Lighting Good lighting and contrast.
Camera Work/Technical Great use of DOF for effect. Good exposure.
My Opinion I like your imagination and expression in this image. I would like to have seen slightly less angle. I also wonder what the image would look like if both handcuffs were in focus. Very nice job.

haha, this is hilarious...and nicely photographed too. The lighting could be a bit better, and maybe the white balance is off a tad...still a nice shot :)

Ooh, hope this lady still has a liver. I would have preferred a less yellow cast, and the only other thing I would change is the area above the ear on the left, which kind of glows and looks really blurry. I like this shot anyway. 7

A visit from the critique club :)

At a first glance I was confused as to what that was on the right. It took me some thinking to figure out what that was. The framing is definitely interesting. What I would have used instead of that meat product is just some fried up bacon or some hot dogs. It would definitely be a much easier thing to recongnize.

The depth of field is fine, exposure is good with the exception of that reflection on the meat. It doesn't hurt a lot but since my eye did spend most of the time looking at it I think better diffusion of light would have added a little to it.

Meets the challenge of course.

This is a very, very cool photo. Handcuffs? I guess you took the angle of fooling us with a perspective trick (seeing one handcuff through the other) rather than the "dramatic" interpretation. The shallow DOF is used beautifully here, and the composition is great. 10 from me.
