I suppose we all think of an enemy as being a SOMEONE, but the truth is, an enemy can be anything that causes harm either mentally or physically....
In my own experience of life, drugs, guns and knives cause more harm than war or your neighbour...
Every corner, village, city, town or suburb knows what pain and suffering these items can cause and there is probably a story from EVERYBODY on this planet that can relate to any of these items and tell a story of hurt......
It;s something to think about....!!!!

your comments, which you seem to have taken in stride, pretty much say it all. compositionally, it's a very complicated image with a lot going on. the biggest issue, imho, is the lack of a single focal point. while you're trying to make a point about what can be considered an "enemy," you're almost presenting the users with a bullet point list of other options. it might have worked better to focus on one alternate theme and take your best shot at that.
side note: to me it almost seemed like you were including credit cards in your enemies list, which is a little confusing in context of everything else.
technically, shots with mirrors are very difficult to pull off well. this might have been better on a plain background. since the shot has so many subjects anyway, it makes sense to not muddy it any further with a complex background.
50th place... Thank you to the people that contacted me and made comments. All comments received received are constructive, in my eyes.
If someone has taken the time to say anything about my image, then they must have noticed it, which is what it's all about . . !!!!
As it's a first attempt, I didn't expect miracles but what my image is trying to say is that some enemies are not so obvious and do not have to be
another human being..!
It's a very clever concept and well captured too. Just, perhaps if the idea was about enemies which don't kill by direct violence would have come up even better by leaving the blood but removing the knife. But maybe I have misunderstood and the concept is more about enemies that kill for money. High score nonetheless :)
