Another great shot from you, Cindi. I think the expression in her eyes were perfect for this. Congrats. on yet another nice finish.

One of my higher scoring images because her look of listless resign translates something strong to the viewer. Well done. I like the high contrast.

A little cliche but i think the shot is still great. i hope it was not too painful to remove the tapes afterwards.

The facial and eye expressions enhances the message with added humor.

The tape reminds me of persimmons. Mr high-key high-contrast likes this shot, the dof is perfect. -ve, I don't get a sense of fear. Other than that, yet another high scorer!

She doesn't look "afraid" to speak to me. She looks like she was MADE to NOT SPEAK.

I like it. This fear is difficult to present in a photo, but the tape does it well. Like the harsh lighting as well -- it makes her pain stronger.

Wow, great idea, the face is a bit overexposed though ..

Nice shot Christine...at least I think this is yours:P The eyes show a lot of emotion here, something that most of the photos lack. Good luck on the challenge!

i think her eyes should have shown she was afraid to speak...but the phobia is a great one...the b&w is great too!
