Greetings from the Critique Club!
First impression: I really liked this shot and gave it a 6 during voting.
Technical: Great studio and gradient lighting and that is a huge huge plus on this site. Check out regular ribbon winners like gyaban and KarenNfld, to name only two. Comp is a little too safe in that it is very centred and straight-on, probably for impact, but a little more could have been done.
Artistic: You're pushing the envelope with this entry, of which I am a huge fan. The resigned, 'I'm banged up and don't know what to do' look is great. If you had given yourself some extra damage, say some fake blood or a black eye too (with makeup!) I think you would have scored a bit higher. And strictly fwiw, I think that if the bandage had been wrapped a little closer to your head it would look a little less cartoony and more serious, as though you HAD sustained injury.
Overall: I think you have the potential to really rock this site, just keep the lighting good and go wacko with the artistic side!
