I thought of this idea and was in search for a guy with cool attitude in nature, found him in my office and took the shot in various angles and finally selected this one.

I did a bit of editing like tilting the picture and giving a bit of blue shade after converting to black and white.

Image appears to lack contrast and slightly OOF.

Looks like suicide, which is a sin, not a heavenly virtue.

The composition/framing is not great, especially with the mouth touching the edge of the frame and the fingers creeping into the frame. The color of this image is blue-grey, which also doesn't portray someone confronting fear, since those colors are more commonly associated with sadness and depression.

Suicide is not a virtue

the fear of stabbing yourself in the head? would be better if you had someone else hold the knife and it wasnt quite so blurry. also the b&w conversion is very flat. there are some good conversion tutorials on the web, look for the one called "dual hue/sat layers" i think that yields some of the best results /4
