Hello everyone,

I'm really sorry I didn't do as highly as I was supposed to. I just entered my first challenge, and I was trying to bring out what the japanese samurai believed, that the soul of the samurai warrior lied only in his blade, and in nothing else. I am so saddenned I missed the point, again I am sorry. I don't think I am as good as you guys and your great photos, but maybe some day I will try again. Take care everyone keep up the good work xx

The Good: Composition is nice with rule of thirds
To work on: Challenge is met barely at most. A little more light on the subject (the sword) would be nice.

I cannot make a personification, either physical or emotional, out of this image.

blade's handle blends into background too much, does not personify anything to me, sorry
