Comment by Moramarth:
aww...this is so cute :) But it looks kind of strange, because the one eye is so much brown and the other one is in the shadow and deep black.

Damn dude, you might as well pull the trigger...you got robbed! Those technical mumbo-jumbo touchy feely comments...garbage. Can't they see the photo is named 'Despair' and the 'subject' is sweatin' bullets! The necklace is perfect - it's not a fashion shoot for goodness sakes...it's freakin' suicide! Awesome job and agree with your comment about taking the photo...

Technicals: lighting is decent, conversion isn't bad, contrast is ok. All those are probably a bit above average.
Feel: Tough challenge. This is going to get some reactions and people may vote low due to those reactions. I feel like it lacks a bit of context. Sure the guy is getting ready to kill himself, but I don't have any sense at all as to why. That's the trick to a superior picture.
Score: 6
