This would be better if we saw enough of the axe to identify it without reading the safety warning. At first glance, it looked like another tree and a large leaf. With a larger crop, you could also remove the rest of the label, which would eliminate some distraction, which right now is taking away from your subject.
Very creative. A strong image I feel. I like the tilted perspective. An interesting background, and good expression on the face. Good choice for b/w in this case I think. One could think of several "stories" for the shot. Well done.
I think I know who this is, but even if I am wrong, a 10 from me. Great shot and perfect B & W processing. Love the imagination, emotion and sheer force in this.
Awesome idea, is that an axe? I really like the idea and tilt. It may be too dark (in terms of theme) for other DPCrs but I like it, my type of photo. (9)
