I am lucky to have Krystal helped me out for this challenge just as she did for the Broken 1 challenge. This picture will attract extreme scores, I am sure. Though I wanted to have a sure "high" score this year, this picture is an exception...
It won't break my heart.

Manny, this must be you! :-) I rcognized your beautiful model. I love the dignity of this photo, the holding of the hands, the eyes hopefully looking up, there is always hope. The red in the background reminds me to blood and suggest suffering. I suggest a 10 for this, and good luck, this must be a ribbon winner!
Background is a bit distracting - The expression on the womans face is priceless. Feel sorry for her. Although I know people will find alot od faults with your photograph, I will give you a 9 - just due to the feeling she evokes in me.
Absolutely gorgeous. After voting 9, I realized that the more I look at it, the more I love it and I wished I had given a 10...BTW, she looks just like Lisa Bonet!
Hello Manny ;) I see you're using your actress friend ;) Great job here. Love the post processing. The red "blood" makes this shot really effective and emotive ;)
