Not really to my taste, per se, but I can't find a thing wrong with your pic in any way for this challenge!

I like the way that the colors, editing, focus, title and the subject matter meet the challenge.

Very nice!

Relapse

Hmmm...

To this recovering addict, this hits hard!!!

The sharpness of the "tools of the trade" in the foreground with the blurring, of the addict, as well as the photo is very significant IMHO.

VERY good work!

You're right in that drug abuse tears up lives.....it tears up families, friends, your work.....I've lost too many people to addiction, but then haven't we all.

I have so far been graced with not having a relapse, and try fervidly not to after two years clean.

One thing that my new lease on life has done is seriously sharpen my "eye" and my mind.....the perspective I have now enables me to see subjects and photographs with my heart as well as my eyes.

And this pic, to my eyes that have seen too much, is outstanding!

So.....though I missed this challenge, I submit this comment anyway.

As a man who grew up in the Vietnam era with a father and grandfather who fought in both World Wars, this photo moved me like very few ever have.

What an absolutely spectacular shot!

Hey.....just came back to make this one of my favorites and correct all the typos.

Got my fingers crossed for a ribbon for ya!!!
