Well done. A nice tableau to think about in a mass of black. Like the irony of the title and the hand \'holding\' the wires that have a \'hold\' on the mind. The whites pop a little too much for my taste. Nice colors. With your set-up you convey a lot with an economy of props. I always like that. 8
On second thoughts, and after having tweaked my votes, i'm upping this to a 9. I really like your message here and the way you presented it even though the popping whites still bother me (even in the thumbnail. 9

nice green light. Good interpretation of the theme - a mind linked to the matrix isn't free. Perhaps a more diagonal composition would have implied the action of freeing the mind better?

I like it - The Matrix meets Home Depot! The black fingernail polish is a nice detail.

Great color effects, and i really like the composition. There are so many different textures going on, but it seems to work. 9.

I can't make up my mind, if the overly sharp and grainy effect contributes to or diminishes this capture...

Also, for a blast of a statement, I'd rather see an non-manicured fist, perhaps one belonging to a child or even the weatherworn fist of a peasant?

Nice the way the coils run in and out of the frame.
