This is a great shot, fantastic blue tones. A couple of big problems with this shot...

1) Photographers reflection is always difficult to eradicate but can really detract from the shot.
2) The seatbelt is reflecting a lot of light from outside and is a somewhat distracting element in this shot.

Apart from that, I love the idea (although there was an entry very similar to this in a recent challenge). Nice Iron Maiden t-shirt ;)

An excellent, haunting, emotional image and one of the best of the challenge. Makes the viewer wonder why she is going away since clearly she seems conflicted about it. The only thing hurting it is the shadow reflection on the left side, the reflection of the car. The metal seatbelt near her fingertip is distracting. Super facial capture. Kudos to you for a great shot.

Very nice picture, looks more like someone stuck somewhere than someone who wants to die. May be I didn't get the challenge but for me a suicide is not a decision...

nice photo.....emotional and dark in a way.....I like the blank type of facial expression....it has rained here for days, and days like that remind me of this photo...

The best photo of the challenge. better take the blue. shame it wasn't advanced editing. I'd definetely get rid of the bright seat belt buckle and not sure how i feel about the photographers reflection, it might be good...either way, this photo is still fantastic.
