I didn't give this a good score at first.. I am bumping you up. Still not giving you a wonderful score but I do want to recognize the fact that this subject matter has been presented in a decently artistic way.

You know... as much as it hurts me to look at this image (I had pet mice) I am gonna bump your score up some because I think that among the dead animal pictures this is one of the ones that got the artistic aspect down a little better. Things are in focus, lighting seems good, composition is decent, colors are good.

I did not give this a high score for a couple reasons: The background up top is distracting, and the animal sort of blends into the white snow. Tones seem pretty flat to me. Basically with the subject matter being what it is, it needs a good artistic treatment to be visually appealing as a photo and I do not find that here.. one thing I do think you had right was that the selective desaturation definitly adds to the gross impact of the subject, and if that is what you were going for then I think you were on the right track with it.

Was this inspired by the Soul Calibur 3 character Zasalamel? I wouldn't have thought it at first except for your title. Let me know! :) Anyway, I'm back to bump up a few scores and I can't bump yours anymore so yeah. :-) I think this is just great.. so bold.. and it's staged obviously, but somehow (usually I don't like obviously staged shots) it just realy seems to work. I think with the lighting being so bold it sort of just all fits. Background is awesome as well as expression of the model. Great shot.

Reminds me of the Philip K Dick short stories I've been reading recently, about stuff that happens after the end of a devistating war. Really neat shot.

Amazingly beautiful composition. I love how the.. um, offshoots from the main stem, I guess? are arranged on opposite sides of the main diagonal line.

So amazingly creative! I wish I'd gotten around to this one during voting.
