I'd like to start with saying that this really is a fantastic image, and well-deserving of the DD given to it. I was skeptical at first glance, but then I gave it a full view, and was happily proven wrong. The centering of the subject within the frame is surprisingly effective, and the vibrant colors really make it pop. The model's almost-smile facial expression is intriguing, and the subtle depth of field helps keep everything smooth and consistent.

That being said, I do have a small issue with the content itself. I really have no idea what you're trying to say to me with this image. At first it's gruesome, then light-hearted, then serious...there's no real, palpable emotional content to the image. One could argue that this isn't a problem, which I would agree with to a degree, but I think it does detract from the overall impact of the image just a bit.

In the end, a job very well done. Thank you very much for sharing!

I honestly like the idea of multiple possibilities for emotions. It allows ones imagination to take over and formulate their own view and even their own stories for those who are writers.

Lovely critique, thank you so much! I do disagree on the part where you think you have no idea what I'm trying to say. I know you get a lot of mixed messages, even if I did only intend to show ONE, but some people cant really grasp the real meaning behind this photo, so its always fun to see what other people think of it. But thanks again! I enjoyed reading that :)

Yeah...like I said, it's not necessarily an issue that needs to be fixed, per se. But it's one of those bits of insight into the viewer's point of view that you as the artist wouldn't necessarily pick up on (seeing as you know what you were intending), but is still important to be aware of. ^_^
