 This of course is a set up shot. Hope it doesn't offend anyone. I have strong convictions about drugs and the damage they do. I lost many friends to the needle. I hope I don't lose any more... Dave

Very nice photo. Great lighting. Best of it's kind. Good setup and composition. Real? Wish the hand didn't have motion blur. 9

Very sharp photo (except for the hand, I am assuming that was on purpose. Very emotive shot, challenge well met. Good contrasts. Is this real? 9 Swash

This photo is very graphic. I like it. It has great texture and it is a really bold subject.

In my opinion you've tried to fit too much in here.

Not really despair... more like addiction, which usually causes the family more despair than the user.

Too real. I pray it is not, but looks to be. Great photo. Whish the hand giving the shot was in focus. But doesn't hurt overall photo. Needs to be just a little lighter. Still great photo.

Is that needle really going in there? It looks so real! It is very convincing. If the hand had been more in focus it would have been even better. The choice of border and the change to B&W was a good decision. Good crop, well done.
