Coming back to comment, and now this little one sure looks familiar. But I loved this image and thought this felt like a great, old photo. 9 from me.

I thought everything about this worked very well together - the location, the way she's posed in that space, her outfit - it all matches up to her attitude. Your commenter average was significantly higher than your overall average - that's usually a pretty good sign that you really struck a chord with a group of people - and that's awesome!

Comment by BrennanOB:
This reminds me of those long ago handbills for punk shows. Both in content (youth don't five a f*ck about you) and the high contrast in your face editing (a look that started because of printing on cheap paper for mass distribution, and became a it's own aesthetic). I like it alot.
That said, if you actually care about getting a higher score on this site I have started looking at my editing here as I do for my cooking at a dinner party. Have a little something for everyone, and spice to soften and fill out flavors rather than to heighten one flavor. If you had edited this as if it was a glamour shot with a soft glow to the skin and lots of pretty detail in the bricks, I bet it would have done about 6.2. Harsh shot gets soft edit, soft shot gets harsh edit, so you can please more of the people, more of the time.
Now I need to get a shot of my daughter flipping off the camera in a challenge and see if I can do it so it offends fewer people by making the edit sweet enough to send diabetics into a coma.
Or you can just go with the old punk philosophy, if they don't like it, f#uck those people, this is our music!

I thought this shot was wonderfully funny, and the t-shirt helped match up to the title for me. The lighting was a bit flatter than those that I scored most highly in this challenge, but it was a 6 from me. But great model, very dramatic young lady. I admit I was a bit saddened to learn this wasn't just a random youngster off the street flipping off a photographer.

Like someone said another title might have increased the score, but the photo is fine -- make sure she knows we (some of us, anyway) appreciate her effort -- you may have gotten only one good shot, but it's a good shot ...

I wonder if the bridge could have been highlighted better if it was a little brighter. To me it seems to be more like a normal road than a bridge.

Nice if fairly standard composition. Unusual tones, but that's a good thing given the otherwise uninspired point-of-view. 6.
