 I do not like to lead the viewer. The suicide bomber presents an overwhelming quotient in the life and death ratio. The most alarming dichotomy is life and death. The detonator holds the fate of an unknown amount of victims. So here you have the suicide bomber and globe representing life. This guy takes it with the cost of his own which makes it such a wicked dichotomy. The title is, of course, sarcasm.

I sometimes have the same problem of not leading the viewer which usually doesn't help the dpc score. This was nicely done - The skin color sorta lacks appeal which I think hurts this a bit but the concept is great and a powerful message.

I am shocked to see this one with a 5.3. I thought this was such a powerful photo!

That's actually a very scary shot these days. I really like the shot but I'm not sure I get how it fits the challenge so comment only - no vote.

The concept is a little beyond me but from a technical perspective the dirt and sweat is very well done, and well lit too.

I'm not sure what the dichotomy is, unless in the caption ("game"), but it's a powerful photo and technically well done, so will get a high score from me.
