Good theme: well thought out and well executed. The acting on the part of the models is good and convincing. The entire picture plane is filled with interesting elements and all support one another to tell the entire story. The dark background adds to the sinister story. Nice sharp image. 9 Journey
Is this greed or desperation? ;) Good idea for the shot. The starkness of the flash certainly plays well into the "caught in the act" mood of the picture.
Looks too stagged, should have gone out into a back alley, and did a wideangle shot of just dark figures in the pose, with some street lights as lighting, and a more silhouetted feel.
For this shot to work the models need to be convincing. Here the "mugger" looks a bit too much like a pantomime villain and the "victim" just looks slightly bored. Coming back to comment I've put my score up from my initial gut feeling, though, because the composition and concept are good.
