Comment by Sachlichkeit:
First of all, I love how the image looks like it is printed on nice, warmtone fiber-based paper. Great job with the post processing in that regard.

However, I don't like your setup. If you're going to show the self consuming destruction of drugs, the image should be dark, grimy, and moody in a way that would make Ian Curtis proud. Have your subject on a matress, illuminated only by the static glow of a black and white television. Garbage everywhere. Single exposure HDR with one layer being B&W and the other being primarily washed out yellow/red channels makes it look like the apocalypse. Your idea really has the potential to hit fast and hard, but currently it's just some guy in a well lit room, who is reasonably well dressed, shooting heroin.--7
