It makes a very dramatic point. Historians tend to call this generation, "the age of anxiety" and boy do I really feel its presence here. Its really a slice of my psychic resonance some times. Nice job, very relatable piece

The pattern of the blood on his face is so striking; with the extreme closeup/sharpness of the image it looks almost grotesque and visceral the way it isn't the stylized "drip" or "streak" or "splatter", but mottled in puddles on his skin and pores.
I saw some comments on how the blood doesn't look quite "real" on if he were splashed with it, but to me, it looks like the blood is coming from within, like he's sweating blood. So, in that interpretation, I think the title fits perfectly, as if he can no longer suppress an inner turmoil that is seeping out to the surface.

The pattern of blood here really bugs me. Having taken blood spatter courses before for my forensics degree, the blood on his face doesn't make sense. Did he have blood thrown on his face? Or was he close to someone who was shot with a shotgun? This coverage of the face seems highly unrealistic.
Did he have his eyes open when the blood hit him? If he did have them open (which he likely wouldn't because it is a natural reflex to close our eyes when something is coming towards them) that would have been incredibly painful, in which case, he would have rubbed his eyes. The pattern on his face, however, does not indicate this. Also, the line around his hairline is too perfect. he also seems to have avoided getting any blood on his neck except for a dribble from his chin.
I'm not buying his expression either. It looks to me that he's resigned if anything. Assuming that you meant for the 'in distress' part to refer to him.
I don't mean to rag on you but I took a look at your gallery and you have other pictures that you did a better job on the blood. Just wondering why this one seems to be less accurate than the others.
I do like the focus of the photo and the shadows are really nice looking. I like the crop too, it's nice seeing only part of his face. I would argue that he (or someone shorter than him) is holding the gun because otherwise, the gun would be at an angle closer to 90 degrees.
Anyway, congrats on the DD, you have a nice gallery

This shoot started out to be an Andrew W. K.-style bloody-nose shoot ([link] ) but turned into what you see. We just kept adding more blood (Which got watery for some reason). I took this shot literally by accident while he blinked. The lighting and focus, I thought, was grand. To me, it looks like some sort of mental-case closing his eyes just before suicide, or maybe someone who's been rolled around in his blood just before execution.
Thanks for the critique though. Mind if I put this up for critique and you resubmit AS a critique, reconsidering using the information I just gave regarding the conditions?
And also, thanks for the congrats.

I would love to resubmit my opinion if you put this up for critique and I will take your information into consideration when doing so

Kinda lookes like he diped his face in blood, but this is a good picture.

This is very dark and disturbing. I really like how the model's face is pretty vacant with the eyes closed. Especially with the gun, I think it works and creates this weird juxtaposition between the two emotions. Great job, I love it.

Maybe I'm just not good at this, but I rather like the blood. I don't think it looks fake oO I thought it looked quite realistic, though some people seem to think otherwise. In any case, very intense. Congrats on the DD!

To be completely honest, I'm not really digging this. The blood looks too faked. There's a sort of pattern too it and it doesn't hit the eyes or even the hairline. It doesn't scream 'distress' at me, with his expression being more serene than distressed. And the light on the face versus something darker, as I'm sure the intention was, doesn't exactly help. Just my two cents.

It reminds me of ninja assassin for some reason...prob the blood! ^_^ This is so intense though. I love it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
incredible. really, really incredible. The way I interpret it is that this guy is just sick of abuse and stuff (represented by the blood all over his face) and he just wants to end it. and that's absolutely...it's stunning.

I agree. Pictures depicting triggering suicide simulations are definitely thirst-inspiring.

Brutal, and yet I can't help but find the crimson color beautiful.

I just LOVE the one tiny droplet of blood hanging off the chin. The way it glistens is like crystal, alsmost as if its the last piece of hope, and its about to fall right off.
Breathtaking!

I think you went a bit crazy on the blood there for a while. But it is a good picture.
I like your avatar, it's a triquetra right? I love those things, hehe.

As for my avatar, it's actually a Valknut.

Ah I see! Very interesting. I love weird symbols, the triquetra is currently my fav.

They way you applied the blood on your face looks amazing!
Great job!

It is rare for me to see macabre executed so effectively. I have to agree with a few others though when I say that there's a little too much blood on the face, but this is still otherwise captivating.
Kudos on the Daily Deviation.

I don't know.
I keep looking at that little blood drop on the chin.
That's all I see with this photo, is that perfect little drop.

kinda makes me think that
He just killed someone and he cant deal with the guilt or grief or something. So hes about to do it himself.
or something >_>
Awesome shot tho

Not sure what your trying to get across here, but I kind of accumulated some sort of vision of him being held at gunpoint

I know! I was surprised I got a DD at all, but more surprised it wasn't maybe Draw Near The Ice. That one is considerably more realistic.

I saw that one! It was indeed very realistic.
