There is a difference between pain and revulsion; about 3 points.

Isolation
by photogoo

Comment:
The shot is a little cluttered. The lighting is spooky and strange. The subject, though sharply focussed is mostly on the wrong side of the light and so is hard to see. The picture itself strikes me as being messy, unkempt, hard to make out. But the story it tells is touching. A man travelling to see loved ones who have not come to pick him up. It is a powerful story. The photo is about a 3. The story is about a 9.

King of pain. Sometimes one wonders whether contemplating the passion has not caused enough pain. It's an effective shot, though it seems somehow self-conscious.

Ouch! The whisp of smoke was the master-stroke. Clever composition, you even got a hand that looks fragile. Nice lighting.

Here, the pain lies in the viewer, presumably.

Love Hurts.

I'm afraid I just see red when people try to equate blood with pain. Nice strong lighting.
