I hope this image did not offend anyone. I tried looking for site galleries but could not find it. I even asked in Tips, Tricks and Q&A, and wrote to the Council, which Neil was very helpful. And yet, I could not find the site galleries. Once again, sorry about this.

to be able to disturb the viewer out of their peaceful viewing spot and arouse a real sense of emotion isn't easy, but here you've completely done it. This is the essence of the challenge; you nailed it. Congratulations.
Definitely the most compelling of images I have seen to date. I have no idea where or when you took this photo, but even if it staged this person has managed to display the raw emotions normally associated with fear and submission.
Very nicely done... I do hope the voters will deem this worthy of the front page.
I am really hoping this was a set-up shot. It makes for incredibly uncomfortable viewing, and provokes a powerful emotional response in me. It emits fear and anxiety in such strength.
Wow. This is one of the very few pictures in this challenge that actually got a reaction from me. I think you could maybe have tried for a bit more light on the face, but the subject and capture of emotion was really well executed.
