Greetings from the Critique Club!
Interesting image that really makes you go hmmm. Its certainly has a certain edge to it and perhaps some might have felt a bit uncomfortable with it. Technically the image is solid: exposure is good and I like the fall of the light on the edges that creates the vignette.
The scene itself is a little lackluster and the window behind the subject (you?) might be considered a distraction. I think that the image might be more effective if the background more closely matched the mood you were trying to set. A guy sitting on a couch with a gas mask? weird. A guy sitting on a couch in an abandoned warehouse? Pretty damn cool. Naturally that would be a little tougher to arrange...
In terms of the challenge theme my opinion is that its just fine it works but its not as strong of connection as it might have been. Central compostion was used but the question is: Was it the best choice? Maybe maybe not.
Ovwerall a pretty solid image and one explored an interesting concept. |

| I like the lighting, it's very harsh and completely relates to the theme. |
