I normally don't like negative images and I don't like the title, but this photo is exceptionally engaging. You can literally see the emotion & feeling of the model and I commend you on choosing a negative image for this (as I imagine the positive image is much less exceptional). You've used the tools available & lighting to make a stunningly beautiful statement. Very nice work. (10) (Only the 4th time I've ever given a 10.)

Absolutely great shot - I just wish there was more of the cycler to see. It seems a bit abbreviated (the way you have cropped it) - I would have scored it higher if there were more of the subject visible... (8)

Very ingenious & well done... The offset subject and b/w shadows really emphasize the feeling. (9)

Kind of Blue

Comment:
Although obviously posed, this portrays an enormous amount of emotion and you were able to capture that spirit. Very well done. (9)

Wow... Did this one take me by surprise! Nicely done - I'm not a big fan of guns, but I think you definitely got your point across - and I even like it. :-) Actually, it's a very good macro photo. Hats off to you for not only being original, but for pulling it off too! (9)

Too posed... It doesn't look candid or real. (5)

Face of fury

Comment:
Too posed & too close... (In my humble opinion.) I like the subject & subject matter, it's just not presented as effectively as it could be - i.e., if it were taken more candidly. (6)

Worrying Skies

Too posed... There's obviously something behind the eyes, but it appears so posed, that the emotion/mood is lost. (6)
