First Impression - the most important one: I don't like that Doc .. she got needles .. and i hate them ... great work
Composition: This is quite well done .. she is not centered .. she looks comfortable .. she also looks like she knows what she is doing.
Subject: Sort of meets the challenge ... although it does not contain what would be the environment .. by being stark it creates the impression.
Technical (Colour and light): Good work here .. nice and crisp and works in black and white.
To grow its vote?: I think it may be the lack of the environement that didn't help here ... but the shot is good .. don't give her a copy for her wall it will scare kids.
Summary: Good work again ... interesting shot ...

Great eyes she has; difficult shot really - all that white is terribly difficult to control in exposure. Brings to mind that cold feeling of liquid being forced into one's veins: kind of exciting and fearful at the same time.
I think for this particular shot, I would have preferred a deeper DOF so that the hand and syringe were in focus as well. I hope that needle wasn't for you!
