He must of been in the wrong place at the wrong time, and scene something he wasn't supposed to :-)

Spelling jokes aside, I like the picture. Good DoF and black and white was a good choice. I think a little splash of color, maybe bloody footprints or drops coming towards the viewer might have looked nice as well.

This image has caused me to stop and pay attention. That means it is in my 7-10 voting band. (Voted earlier)

Additionally, it is highly interesting/eclectic meaning it keeps me here long enough to offer a longer comment and a vote of 8 or more.

This is one of my 10s - I like it very much. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. The mix of static clarity and background motion blur - inspired and effective.
2. The interesting subjects - I like how they both have hats as a common link.
3. Lovely gentle toning.
4. Great lighting - fully illuminated but with some shadows to give a sense of depth too.
5. The square crop - making the most of the restricting DPC real estate.

Overall, a really well conceived and executed image.

You scored VERY well for a DNMC entry, so be pleased. In fact, I goofed and gave you a 7 (it should have been a -3 to that for DNMC), but I think most people did not check the title REQUIREMENT and judged the photo only (which is very very good and one of the best of the person literally falling apart)
