I think that this is why this shot didn't score what IMHO it should have. You do have technical issues. The shiny skin doesn't seem to make sense as commented on by others. The 'wounds' do look fake. Maybe a b/w treatment would have given it more punch.
But once again IMHO when you bring religion/sex/politics (and you kinda have all three here) you will receive the wrath of the close minded. It's a shame...
I guess "the creepiness" of the image could have been "fixed" by making some grundge or stylish colors and votes of the DPC people would pour; but then I wouldn't like it as much as I like it with natural colors, because thisway the photo shows that stigma is closer than we think.
Great concept, wonder if there might have been something that would have improved the look. Maybe a blur to hide the fake blood. I do like the expression and particularly, her eyes.
I absolutely don't understand why the skin is so shiny.
The idea is good imho but the execution could have been improved like with the back position that at the moment is hurting me.
The hole on her front doesn't seem natural either...-6
