I tried to think of images that are generally in black and white and crime scenes sprang to mind. I'm not sure how convincing it is or whether it has a lot of impact but it was interesting to shoot anyhow.

Heh, interesting shirt, given the topic; I'll assume that was deliberately. Definitely different, my only real objection being so far as I know crime photos are taken in color for various reasons, although I suppose B&W establishing shots might be realistic.
LOL.... the shirt just pulls it all together. Very interesting... I really like it! Well done, creative, little extreme shadow, pure, simple, to the point, and it makes a statement.
You make a great point with this shot, I felt relief to see the subject with his eyes open, and no catatonic glazed look! Maybe you could have added more drama with a full shot of his entire body, contrasted with the tile walk?
