Honestly, I will say that I'm very fond of this series. The whole thing seems well represented.

However, my main critique for this piece is that if you're doing photography as means of expression, the words take away from it a bit. This may be an opinion, so I'm giving it to you as a suggestion. Perhaps adding another symbolic image would be better than blazoning "tax" on the ball. The words on the bars make them seem too fake, which I believe takes away from the piece.

I like the model's pose, since she seems stressed and trying to get away from the situation that she's chained to, though carefully keeping a blanker face helps show that she's lost with what to do about it. I might suggest some messed up eye makeup to show that there's been tears of frustration.

Overall, great piece, and great job at portraying your concept! <img src="e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />
