original idea was to portray a bulimic/anorexic girl going through her daily routine of body picking and self hate. But im not sure that all the voters are going to get that from the picture.

Wow - this really conveys! Seems like a young bulimic/anorexic girl going through her daily routine of body picking and self hate, but maybe I am misinterpreting. Nice work though, Kari.

edit: Just read your notes - whaddya know! :P

Good shot expressing some mood. I like the composition, the sepia tone and the soft focus effect.

the soft focus approach really supports your message very well. together with the low key technique is compliments your composistion. well balanced photo

The message is good and I am sure the focus is soft intentionally, but that part of it doesn't appeal to me. Not sure how others would perceive that.
