It's sad, my girlfriend was busy the last night of the challenge (when I took this shot), so I had to get my little sister to model for the shot. Just please tell me, how sad is that?

This is one of the rare photos in this competition where a single person still fits within the theme. Through the expression on the model's face, this photo brings across a somewhat cynical message very clearly. Well done.

Spooky, dark, grainy, manipulated. And then there is the picture. Well, I guess it has all those qualities as well.

Really not into the use of color, and, though safe sex is perhaps a good thing and I get your point, don't think it's a great shot for best friends...

Yes it is. I like the sentiment and the interpretation for this challenge. The dark mood brings to mind the risks of not having this particular friend around. If there are objections to be made, I'd point to the reflectiveness of the condom wrapper and the nails. My instincts also tell me the writing on the t-shirt also distracts a bit. Viewed as a thumbnail, the image was very effective for me because the small size and low res reduced the two above factors, and both the head and the wrapped condom appeared disembodied. Overall, though, a top ten, even five, for me in this challenge.

No this just isnt right. I dont like this photo, and it should not be stated as a girls best friend. This is just giving people the idea that girls get themselves around.

Interesting interpretation. Would have liked more light on the girls face

The near/far perspective shot is good and so is the idea. The low light seems to have caused noise on the face and it is also rather red. Having a secondary light on the face may have helped, as well as using color balance in post processing to lessen the red.
