The lighting is great and the shot is technically very well composed. Not to nitpick, but the cut is the wrong direction and she wouldn't be holding the blade like that. 6

Sign of depression? more like solution. Very trite title; but the image is well exposed and contrasted. Perhaps this shot in a bathtub?

I think this subject matter is always difficult to deal with, and it's probably not going to be appealing in the context of this site. As an image, I find the lighting to be appropriate and quite well executed. There's perhaps a slight overexposure onn the left hand. The shadow areas on the face works well to emphasize the mood that the image is trying to portray. I do think the crop on the top would be slightly lower as I do find the inclusion of the nails of the right hand to be a distraction.

Good take on the challenge.
Have you tried adjusting the white balance on this or converting to a higher contrast B&W? (6)

Nice touch (with that tear). Like the gloomy effect of b/w conversion. Lighting is good, and the composition is just right for this kind of a photo. That said this kind of a photo does not fare well in the challenges but at the same time it is refreshing to see this 'unforced' form of art in any challenge.
