Very very well done. A virtual copy Dragan's photo. Among my top picks.

Comment by mycelium:
Interesting take on the theme - one of the stronger images that departs from the more literal interpretations. The only real thematic inconsistencies I see are with the model... her hands are too clean, her hair is too well done, and she looks too healthy. I think the black makeup might have been stronger if you gave her some 'racoon eyes' more than its just being smudgy; the sloppiness looks deliberate here.

On another note, though I think the title is pretty good, there are moral connotations I don't think I agree with. "Perdition" means "damnation," which implies that a drug addict is morally responsible for his (or her) addiction. While a user is, to a certain extent, culpable for the decision to use in the first place, addiction is much more nefarious and complicated, and when use turns into abuse, 'free will' as it is normally conceived pretty much goes out the window. If this were my image, I would have probably given it a more morally neutral title using something like "misery," "destruction," or "self-destruction" in place of "Perdition."

Food for thought, if nothing else.
