With people I prefer to have focus on their eyes. The picture of the wire and her mouth alone would've been interesting as well :)

Nice soft tones, but I'm not keen on the model's expression (as pretty as she is).

A bit dark, both literally and subject-wise.

The focus point landed on the wire just infront of her face.

interesting take on subject, would prefer focus throughout as the point of focus of the image tongue/steel is oof. colors seem a bit mute

*not voting as I'm in this challenge-just commenting since I've seen requests for comments in the challenge thread*

Interesting. I think this would be better if you cropped out the light spot to the left of the frame and then cropped in on the right to get a close up of her face and the barbed wire so then you could have lightened this all up in editing without blowing out that light in the upper left hand corner. It just suffers from being too dark in the face and possibly not as sharp as could be.

Good idea and composition but it just comes over as a snapshot IMO

nice concept.. if the focus was on the twisted wire a bit more, it would have helped!
