Big thanks to my great husband who let me wrap cellophane wrapping paper around his head so that I could recreate my personal nightmare horror scenario.
Post challenge:
Here's an outtake.... I was worried that this may have been too out of focus for the challenge.
My husband survived this, he's fine ;-)

If I saw that inside my refrigerator, it would "scare the Sh@#t out of me". I like it, I'm not sure what's missing to make it better. Maybe it could have a blue tint with staring eyes and mouth hanging open, a dead already take. I've seen some like that before, that was scary.
Ah, well you are over the 6.00 marker which is cool...although anything under your average is always frustrating. This shot is very effective because it's scary. The idea of suffocating like that is horrible and it well represented here. The lighting is super effective and highlights well the folds in the plastic bag caused by the suction in the mans attempts to breath. The facial expression is also good. One can see the worry in his eyes. My biggest problem is the crop. The shot is unbalanced. That whole left part is unnecessary in my opinion and it's a little tight under the mouth. So all in all I think this is a very powerful image, the only problem is the crop and I think it's underrated. I would have expected at least 6.3
