 A little disturbing. Not a happy message. Was going for the apocolyptic sepia look. And that's real blood on the blade. I cut myself while taking the picture, so I put a little blood on there. Hope it's not over the top.

Very good, but would be better if no blood on the blade...would make it more of a contimplating picture ( did I spell that right?)

good creativity and lighting. The dirt on the hand is good to bring out the texture of the skin.

Like the compostition, like the colour, like the dirtiness of subject against the cleanness of the light - I just find it too literal an interpretation.

Sorry mock suicide photos are not despair to me, great focus, great shot, but the subject gets a 1.
