Hippies!!! There's alot of anti-gun sentimentality around here, if you haven't noticed. And people aren't being objective. |

12th is pretty darn good, but I expected a ribbon on this one. Few images are powerful enough to make the top 15 with that many ones and twos.

| excellent, looks like a still from a movie. im sure this would have done a lot better without the 14 1's and 14 2's but thats just how some people respond to such subject matter. Congrats on breaking the 6+ barrier, keep on being edgy and keep up the excellent style. |

| Great lighting, very dramatic look of fear in the young man's face. Very noir...shows someone has definitely decided something about the guy that makes the gun handler want to do him in. Excellent. |

| That is absolutely the most believable expression I have EVER seen.Lighting is perfect. Great job. Hope you are not voted down due to the nature of the subject because this should be a ribbon winner. You got a 10 from me. |

| Very good lighting. Detail of face is really clear. I imagine it is an open ended decision. Do ya talk to save your skin, or do you do the noble thing and not give anything away. |

Whoah. True emotion. I actually think this meets the challenge brilliantly and the technical execution is absolutely superb. Were you the guy who entered his first challenge with granular? The guy who blew the salt? I like the way you interpret these challenges and the emotion in this shot is tangible.
The subtle decision of the non-subject character (the man with the gun) is a brilliant take on this challenge. To take the life of another human being or not? I'm giving you a 10.
I was initially disturbed, but after pondering this shot for a while I realized what an excellent image it is. People are going to hammer this in voting as they're going to instantaneously lump it with the stupid suicide shots, this is in a different league to those...
Good work, mate. You were one of my few 10s in the challenge.

Interesting image, if a bit bizarre. The focus is a little soft on the 'gun' and the gunman's hand. Nice look of fear on the victim's face.
BTW, I don't think that's a real gun, but if it was, then this was a very bad idea. :)

| Though this is highly controversial, and you will probably receive comments all across the board, I voted this higher, since the setup looks straight out of a movie, and, really, it was done well. |

| A very high scoring image with me. This invokes the sense of impending doom should the subject not come up with the right information or decision. The lighting adds an ominous tone to the whole and the model's expression is perfect for the concept. This is an image that requires pop-culture knowledge, but does not scream suicide like others, instead it forces the subject into an active thought process which is something that most submissions in this challenge neglected to fully communicate. Even with the harsh light on the cuff and grainy feel, this is a 9 in my book. |
