Comment by lisae:
Very intense and disturbing. I think I'd like this with higher contrast black and white, since it's so dramatic. I love the composition though.

Comment by HBunch:
This photo is kind of disturbing to me. For a couple of reasons. First, your name is on the bottles along with a RX refill number. Second, it is depicting a suicide. That's disturbing all on it's own, and the person in the photo looks young. I took a second look and realized that your address wasn't on the bottles, nor a pharmacy phone number, so that gave me the hope that you made up the labels. Also, I noticed the wedding band and kind of got a chuckle. Any married woman, I think, can relate. Not to the suicide, but to the need for nerve pills. Setting that all aside, the photo is nicely done. Lighting is great, the b&w helps add saddness. I almost wish I could read the whole letter, but I think that the important parts are clear. "Darling, I love you, and I am sorry" is what I can read, and that really is enough to get the point across. There is a soft focus which works well in this photo. That also adds to the saddness. Disturbing, yet very nicely done. after getting over the initial shock of this, it is a well executed photo. Nice job and good luck in the challenge.

Emotive subject matter and interesting composition. My personal preference would be for much more contrast - a little brighter (but perhaps the darkness about it is deliberately reflective of the subject matter?). A brave subject matter to tackle.

OOH. Powerful, but the lighting seems a tad dark, and i'dlike to be able to read the whole note. Still excellent. 8 -lennier

I came back to enter a comment. I like the picture and the imagination.Not sure the pencil would be broken in that case and the letter 'neat' but that's a detail. Maybe the face could have been less 'dark'. But I like it. Oh and .. I would not have cut the prozac bottle just a little like this, I would have had them completly in the picture or cut 'in half'.
