F***.

A very striking image. I'm pretty much lost for words.
Technically very well done and extremely powerful.
Straight 10 no doubt.

Cool set up! Just wow! What an impact! I would never want to put my hair in the toilet as a model .-) Great photo! Love it and you get 9 from me

Not really a nice story, but I like your shot. The lightning through the hidden window works great and is highlighting the subject. The models color and the lower saturation of the rest is well done too. The high camera position is IMO well deliberated. It brings some distance between the viewer and the sad scenario. Perhaps I would have cropped a little closer on the left side of your shot. IMHO there ist too much uninteresting space. The victory sign of her hand looks a little overstated, but that's only marginal. Great work! - 9

Wow, this is a very disturbing photo. Technically, lighting and composition look good. I can't believe that your subject willingly leaned her head against the toilet, and put her hair in it (that's really disgusting)!

This image is very shocking and quite disturbing. The crop is good, the red against the white/black/gray is a sharp contrast. I dont 'like' the image, but it certainlly expresses emotion and adequately meets the despair challenge.

I would certainly hope this was staged... but man... I'll have to give you extra points for sticking her hair in the toilet! Dang, there's no way on Earth I'd do that! And even if it happened accidentally after an alcohol-fueled night, I'd shave my head! Anyway, I really think this is a strong shot. Way to go.

Interesting use of color, truly a disturbing picture. This is post-despair, though, and more unsettling than evocative of that emotion.

is this real, if not what are you trying to portray??
