I am commenting on this image in a reaction against the attempt by some to limit the content of DPC to images that conform to their idea of acceptable.
I can understand what you are trying to show in this image but think that, without the title, it's incredibly ambiguous. It's only with the title that one can just about make the inference that the bandage covers wrists that have been cut as opposed to a sprained wrist or the like. I also find the image much too dark. Whilst use of shadows and limited light can help create a certain mood, in this case it just makes it hard to distinguish the content and doesn't work for me. |

| I think we have enought evil in the world without people taking pictures of it, or even suggesting something so horrible. |

| A lighter shot would have been more impressive. |

| A little dark, in my opinion. Could be my moniter. I like the way you cropped this photograph with negative space on the top. I assume this depicted wound resulted from a suicide attempt. Will not vote you down because that subject in a forum like this turns me off. I worked in a psychiatric crisis unit. My bias. |

| I don't feel that the image conveys instantly recognizable decision. I was very confused by the image. The title helps. Suicide seems like a way out of decision. Nice entry. |

| How easily we think of suicide as an obvious metaphor for a decision and yet would we see the smae obvious connection to choosing life? This image invokes the suicide nature, but only due to the title. Otherwise, I may have mistaken the wrappings with no blood stain for a cast or splint of some kind. Alone the hand and wrist wrapped in bandages against a black blackground leaves little to draw me back to consider the image again. It is a well taken photo with just enough light to accent the important details, but it fails for me as it does not have enough supporting the hand in additional story material. Given the extra negative space at the top, weak, but not completely missing challenge link and a lack of additional subject matter that would better communication the decision behind the action, I must compare it's relevance to the other entries and find this to be a 3. |

The subject doesn't seem to match the title. The only thing that suits the challenge is the title, I'm afraid. This shot is also a little underexposed. Keep shooting, however, and good luck in the next challenge.
