I know I didn't comment on the first two of this triptych, just didn't feel compelled to. However, this one is different. I believe I know what you are trying to say here, because I saw the other two. However, in a triptych, each piece should be able to stand alone and tell its story. Here, you could just be sleeping, or have given up on the whole idea. If your choice was to end life on the physical plane then your audience needs to be told that more dramatically. A small trickle of fluid down the white couch would be one such way. And yes, there is a bit too much white and left corner of the couch is blown by the lighting used. Just one more thing, the enitire hand should be seen, it fragments the piece by cutting off the last of it in this way. Good work though, I quite like it. Willo

Well, I think I see the message trying to be conveyed here, but as willo said, it's just not dramatic enough.

In my opinion, maybe an angle which gives you a shot of his face, and the gun on the floor that way the viewer gets a better feel for the scene, plus you get to use fake blood and maybe some fake wounds (which is always fun).

I think you have great ability, but it just looks like this one was rushed a little bit.

I think you defientely need to work on lighting the image. Maybe bringing two extra lights, table lights even and pointing them to various parts of the image.

Also in this image I think you shot it with a too open aperture which made the image only sharp in some of the image, while the gun (front part) and the person are out of focus.

Siggie!
