Looks slightly blue where the blacks should be? Great intensity though, nice.

I cant see the blue's on my monitor. I like the composition a lot. Nice image Steve!

Not working for me, sorry Steve, as Neil says there is a blue cast present.

The dripping saliva is great, but overall the composition, crop and view are not sitting comfortably, the eye being almost central in the frame but looking out, almost away from you is, IMO, the killer to the impact this image could have, it needs some form of eye contact... great idea and I can see where your thoughts are regarding the image, I am guessing you have others....
