Not quite my idea of playtime. Well done though.

what does this have to do with play? Its just wrong and scary. Might be a good shot if the subject was supposed to be "tough guy" or "angry use of weapon" but not play in any way, even when its used in the title. Stretch - okay show the devil, show this guy and what he is playing with and maybe... but ok, no. its still wrong theme. The technical photo is not incorrect, it uses light well- but composition could be better. lighten up.

Good concept and composition. I wish the hand and gun had a little more fill light on them.

Pushing the theme envelope a little too far for me and looks a lot like the 3rd place winner from Literary Adventure challenge.

Edgy. Kind of looks like Alice Cooper. Cool lighting.

while this is a great shot, it doesn't evoke the idea of playtime to me...
