This is nicely composed and exposed, and a good effort but one that ultimately comes up short for me. The blood on her mouth looks fake and the angle of the extra hand is strange ... you have to look hard to realize its Kelly's hand, because at first it just looks like your model's hand held at an odd angle. I gather this is supposed to be a zombie shot not a suicide image, although it appears on first blush to be the latter and the title doesn't help (seems to say "can I help you off yourself?"). My first reaction though was I didn't like it because I found the suicide context to be disrespectful and offputting; only after looking longer did I realize you were going for something different. 6 for effort.
Very disturbing image - subtle, but there is one too many hands in the picture, and the "blood" on her face leads the viewer to a rather grisly conclusion. Her "dress", her expression, the simple name on the tombstone, her bare feet - all disturbing. Great staging and execution.
Heh, the third hand is a brilliant touch. Crop photo a bit tighter to get rid of the extraneous vegetation intruding on the upper left corner of the frame.
