Shot in the studio with my neighbor helping out as "male hand #1". No, he did not recieve a salary for his role. :P

Women around the world live in fear, I think this shot captures a bit of that emotion.

I think the expression in your eyes wasn't enough. It looks like you're staging it (which I know you are) but I would think if you were REALLY abducted you're eyes would be wide open and they would be saying HOLY SH!T SOMEONE HELP ME. Over all though, good job. Can't wait to see if you enter Harsh Environments II.

woah...thought this would do heaps better...your eyes are amazing as always, but in this case there is a real terror conveyed. I wonder if it went against you that the voters know it's you and we know you are acting...just a thought

I really liked this and thought it would at least be top 20...at least

The sharpness is spot on, and the B/W choice makes the "terror" look in the model's eyes perfect. Very appealing photo, congratulations.

I don't know why but I'm not convinced. It looks a little staged to me. I do think that a little more dramatic contrasting (spelled more shadows) would help to give the shot a little 'sell'...

Man I can see the fear in those eyes. Good job. The only thing that I don;t like. The border gets lost on the right side of your image into the image itself. But that is just me being anal retentive. "9"

An excellent photo. Meets challenge? I guess you think so. Expert editing...well, it was an option I guess. Not to worry, I'm not casting votes during this challenge. I'd have scored it at 8 simply because it's such a nice photo...quality that is and the emotivness of it.

Yeeeeeeeep! Scary - very effective. Maybe a bit more widening of the eyes would make it seem more real? Otherwise I think this is very fantastic.
