Great image, great title! I have the feeling that the play on words may have gone unnoticed by many.

I love this. The combination of silhouette and a standard light source make this amazing. The border even adds to the effect. I'm starting with a 9, but I may come back and bump this to a 10.

Great studio work here. It's as much a character study as it is anything about the tattoo.

In my opinion this is an excellent example of low key, dark with the right amount of highlights to make it interesting, Nice title as well.

Nice subject, but the cropping of the top of his head is ?and frame is quite distracting to me.

Meets Challenge: 3 of 3.
Technical: 3 of 3.
Emotion: 2 of 3. Just me... but I wish his head was facing a little more down. It would give a sense of weight to that cross he's baring. As it is, he looks more bored, than baring.
Awe: 1 of 1.

Great photo! Really good job.

Also, funny side note. For the longest time, I thought that in the Alanis Morissette song "You Oughta Know" she kept referring to "the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me". I couldn't for the life of me figure out how that went with the rest of the song. ;)
