The fist and arm do indeed look very angry. I like the post processing - the arm is soft yet the nail is very sharp. You created an excellent mood with this shot!

Somebody feed that guy, look at those ribs, move over Kate Moss. Seriously, well not too, funny set-up, she actually looks truly surpised by the unexpected garbage man.

Greetings from the Critique Club! :)

This is a great setup...your choice of subject, your lighting, your processing...they all worked together and scored very well for this challenge. The display of tension and impending doom is quite well done and I tip my hat. I think that the only suggestion I can make for an improvement would be to crop more on the right side and make it a tiny bit more off-center, but that's just a nitpick on my part.

Keep shooting, and let me know if you have any questions about this critique. :)

Take care,
Laurie

This is quite disturbing and striking, which gets good marks from me. Some might say it is a stretch to meet the challenge though.

Funny idea but for whatever reason it doesn't appeal to me. Personal flaw, I'm sure. :)

It looks a little too set up. The lady's posture and expression do not lend themselves to making the viewer believe she is scared. Guess ya need to work on directing actors ;).

The focus is on the wall, not on the people. It does look like you all had a lot of fun shooting this.

I'd like to see the depth of field just a bit deeper in this photo.
