I can't find anything truly wrong with it, but neither can I find anything truly right with it either. It's a 6 image in my head, and what I would suggest is that it was simply the wrong image for a Free Study. In another context this might have stood out, but surrounded by 400+ photographs, your bell curve says everything. It didn't stand out for the majority of people.

Sometimes that just happens for no real reason at all, especially in the Free Studies. Our work just gets lost to the masses.

Take comfort, however, in the few that enjoyed it, and 8 in-challenge comments on a mid-5 shot is a wonderful achievement.

Comment by Yo_Spiff:
It's really different and makes me examine it a bit. My only critique may be that the centered comp makes my eye land on his tattoo and I don't notice the gas mask for a bit. The OOF trees on the left don't seem to add anything to the image for me.

I think it did not do higher simply because it is a grim image.

In my opinion, nothing wrong with it at all. I quite like it.

I didn't know this had anything to do with a band, but I thought it was a striking and unique image and am happy to have been one of your "9" votes. An underrated image for sure.

Very unique and cool photo. Great use of B/W here. Plus like how the mask is cropped in half. Well done. 8

Comment by ubique:
Such an unusual sentiment to brand your skin with ... presumably it's a declaration of affection, punctuated by an armpit; very classy. It's a nicely-made photograph although of no apparent substance beyond that.

exposure adjustment could have saved this one perhaps.
