Don't know how I got the idea. It just popped in my head and I said to myself why not! The concept here is that we are always dependant of electricity even when we sleep (ex :the heat and of air conditionning systems) and we can't choose to live without it. In a way it's normal because electricity has a lot of advantages. There's so much the electriciy bring to us and that's the problem. It's like a drug. You always need your dose and if you don't have it you become sick.

Hi, it easy write a comment for an image that is in the top ten of a contest. the black and white and the composition are goods and the idea is original. I think that the position is well deserved.

Best regards and good luck in the next contest.

I think you're going to split opinion with this one, but I like it immensely. It's visually shocking (pun intended) and the unusual crop (losing the eyes) just adds to the power (pun intended).

Something about this seems kind of gross to me yet I still keep looking at it! It's a very clean shot and the composition is interesting. I like the use of B&W here too. Ok - I guess gross rates an 8 from me! :) Nicely done. I always wondered what my bellybutton was for!

So, is this considered degrading treatment under the Geneva Convention? Did the electricity generate any useful intelligence?

Seriously its a great image and directly related to the theme

excellent idea and composition, like how the face is cropped to make him anonymous. good use of negative spoace. crop at bottom and right could be less tight - 7
