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.

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.
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
