This is so haunting. The way the noose just lays around his neck, and the stick figure we usually connect with hangman, a game that I've played since I knew how to spell, is just... Wow. You've taken my breath away, great work.

Maybe he should try guessing a letter other than H.

This is supposed to be advanced critic.

Ok then. Advanced critique: This looks like an instagram photo. The darkened corners doesn't match up with the direction of shadowing in the actual picture. The thing around his neck looks more like a necklace than the noose I assume you were going for. The tally marks having six dashes instead of 5 make them look like the letter "H" written over and over, and your reason for changing the number of tally's is high concept, low impact, and it distracts from the overall focus of the picture.

Surprisingly, you're more intelligent than you seemed. You see, that's advanced critic and not a trivial empty joke. If only I didn't suspect you were seeking for some kind of cheap revenge now, I would even take it into consideration. Anyway, thank you for your opinion.

No, that's actually all my thoughts when I first saw it. I just made a joke instead of stating that because most people don't take criticism very well and when your the kind of person that sees the flaws in everything, you learn to express yourself in a way that doesn't end up pissing people off constantly. You could stand to lighten up a bit. Learn to take a joke. Taking your self too seriously leads to getting defensive when you perceive that your self importance is being jeopardized. When you get defensive you reject criticism, and when you reject criticism you never improve. Word of advice.

Well, I just asked for advanced critic when you commented my work with a cheap, empty joke and didn't tell anything about the critiques you stated later, so you must reconsider your advice because it doesn't fit me. I usually see criticism as a mean of improvement. I just don't have patience for people who are constantly making fun of the works of others (and honestly that is not the best way to test the sense of humor of someone). On the other hand, you should also make an auto-analysis; seeing flaws in everything seems to me a kind of arrogance that may lead you nowhere good.

The noose around the model's neck is a haunting touch. c:
