I like the out-of-focus take on this photo. I also liked that the face was hidden. It leaves more to the imagination. Even the background wall fits in this photo.
This would be a good representation of the movie but the blood is a little excessive and the needle looks like something you would use on horses...that thing is huge...lol
There's a really gritty feeling to this which is good because I think it adds to the photo. It's not fun to look at, but it definitely gets it's message across.
Yikes. From the photography point of view, there is no sharp focus anywhere, there's too much red popping out, which might be the result of increasing saturation.
I'm not a fan of IV drugs. I think you should have done something different in this kind of forum. (i.e. I don't think DPChallenge is the right place for stuff like this since they have rules against it.... although I know you are not creating a positive image of drug use). That said I think this is awesome Photojournalism type stuff. The shot is a bit grainy but does justice for the feel of it. I love it in that movie when the baby attacks that guy,, creeped me out for a while!
