"Remember your death". Creative approach to the challenge. I like that. The face depicts the memento mori theme fine. The lighting is interesting. However it has a bit too much contrast for my taste. -stephan

Interesting idea. DOF seems to be a bit narrow, and it seems to be soft on focus toward the rear.

Very powerful. It evokes death in all the blackness, and the blankness of the face, but seems to give the impression of life in the blood red mid-tones. It isn't about death, it's about the knowledge of death, according to the title. It seems like a moment when the inevitability of death has come upon you. Great work. 10 - lisae

I really like the way the high and low intensity exposure comes together in this photo to create the image... My impression of this photo is that I'm viewing a dead man from inside the coffin just as the lid is closed and sealed... Very nice work!

This has the look of a death mask--and as such gives of a rather menacing feeling--but effective use of negative space andrewm

real real nice, only now i'm worried you killed somebody for the sake of the picture, which would definitely be crossing the line.

Artistic, great lighting - wonder how many voters wont see that - fantastic composition... I really like the way that all the colours blend together to form a really well colour balanced and dramatic shot... (10)

the reddish color to the face is nice, but the lighting on the top of the head is a tad bit too harsh and detracts from the overall feel.

death mask w/ fuzzy focus is what i think this should be titled....... but with effective darks and light areas.

Good attempt. I like the positioning but would prefer less light on the face.
