What a shame this scored so poorly - it's clearly a stronger image than many that ranked above it - it's nicely composed, the content accurately reflects the film and it's certainly high impact. Clearly you suffered from the reaction to the extremely unappealing subject matter. Please don't assume from your score that your image is not a good one.
This isn't art, this is SICK! I couldn't even look at this when I was writing this comment! Not to mention the photo quality is a bit poor aswell. EWWW! -2-
Mmmm this photo has a shadow, is not full sized is OOF and blown out on his cheek. Its very effective and works well, I'm sure you will be voted down as its not appealing but it is very imaginative and something you should be very proud of.
Great shot, really very impressed by this and the best i have seen this challenge. if you do not mind how did you achive the gritty look of the shot. it makes this really stand out.
