channel mixer - B&W
dodge-burn to make the face and the cross a bit lighter and the eyes darker around
usm layer mask and modified the face, arms and shoulders, because otherwise it got very grainy

Shakespeare\\\'s Sister - Stay
If this world is wearing thin,
and you\\\'re thinking of escape
I\\\'ll go anywhere with you,
just wrap me up in chains
But if you try to go alone,
dont think i\\\'ll understand
[Chorus]
Stay with me
Stay with me
In the silence of your room
in the darkness of your dreams
you must only think of me
there can be no in between
When your pride is on the floor
I\\\'ll make you beg for more
stay with me
stay with me
You better hope and pray
that you make it safe back to your own world
You better hope and pray
that you wake one day in your own world
Cause when you sleep at night,
they dont hear your cries in your own world
only time will tell if you can
break the spell back in your own world
stay with me
stay with me

Technicals: Your focus and DOF are appropriate. A dark picture, but that's what we're going for. The bokeh, I fear, is really weird with the donut look. There's probably not much you can do about that.
The feel: Gutsy. I like it. Instantly conveys the emotion you want. I do wonder about the bare shoulder. Why? It gives us the impression the model is nude and that just seems incongruous with the emotional pain she is experiencing.
The game: Pure DPC Underground. 5.4 is a good score for that right?
I recognize the photographer but won't vote according to that.. I like the idea of this image.. the tones are fabulous but the white area of the eye (which I know you like to showcase your eyes) doesn't seem to work with the angle of the face.. IMHO
