 I was doing a promotional photo shoot for a professional theater company in our town and got this photo. I think it fits this challenge well.
I cranked up the f stop to create some extra noise in the photo to help show some of the anger. It was a new experiment for me and I hope it worked.

Stage lighting, auto levels, auto contrast and auto sharpen.
I hope I didn't forget any steps.

Anger management might help this guy. Good photo.

The face is a major element conveying emotion, contrary to the challenge's title and guidelines.

Blurry and prominent faces.

is this from a stage play? i thought this was a faceless photo challenge?

The focus seems to be on the script. . . sorry, this one doesn't evoke much emotion for me.

The part of this photo that shows emotion is the woman's face and hands, but the challenge is supposed to be faceless. The man's anger isn't as obvious; the only thing to indicate anger is his hand, and it's hardly the focal point of the photo.

The lighting is very harsh and the no DOF.

the blurriness at the bottom left is distracting. it would be better cropped out

If the woman was covering her face I would have given this a higher rating, but the strongest emotion is all from her face.

unfortunately, the face in the photo is attracting most of my attention, this doesn't really meet the challenge in my opinion, cropping out the woman might have met the challenge more

Besides the fact that this is not faceless emotion...the emotion is clearly read in the face...it's not sharp.

Looks like a shot of a staged drama. I do see the anger and fear but don't love the picture itself.
