 Some people disliked the title which i can understand. I could have just gone for Undertaker i guess-which was my initial title but i got a bit carried away. I like the idea of illustrative images and my concept for this was that the line was from a short story it was illustrating-perhaps from a book of horror stories for kids, like i remember from my youth, where the line would be under the image on the page. Next to photography my greatest passion is for weird fiction, particularly late Victorian and early 20th century, and it's a bit of an homage to that.

I figured you to be one of a handful this might be from. Nice moody stuff. It got a 7 from me.

I really like the image but what about the topic? You could have found a title that worked.

I like stories with pictures. The blur (lensbaby?) does it.

A simple "Unforgiven" would have worked nicely for a title. I really do like the picture. Hate the title, but like the picture a lot! Well, OK, "Unforgiven" doesn't start with "under-", now does it? I still like the shot. Maybe "Unbeliever", but that would kill your score.

Shot through a lensbaby? The selective focus is really well presented here.
