 Seemed like a pretty 'hit or miss' image. Not too thrilled with the score, but I had a lot of fun setting it up and taking it. I think I submitted it 16 minutes after the challenge topic was announced, so I'm pretty proud of my swiftness in the whole process as well :)

You need to calm down, put that knife on the floor, go and think about composition - it's a bit messy an dividing screen with that briefcase doesn't help.

Don't like the message in this photo, too agressive for my taste.
Technically the photo doesn't appeal to me too.

Good idea and well laid out (if a little creepy). But I'd like to see a bit more light on the knife. It's almost too dark.

I love the idea but am not so sure i like the DOF. maybe a silver knife would help as well.

Very cool idea. Kinda can see the pinky's shadow but I still really like it. Good job.

The tonal range looks a little flat here, but I like the depth of field that you acheived. I also like the balance between the dark knife and the bright instruments on the right.

Although I find the subject matter questionably disturbing, the framing, background, blur and scissors on the right is well done

Very nice image from a photographic perspective (sharp where you want it,ect). The concept looks a little too staged. It seems a bit shortsighted to place your victim's hands so close to the torture instruments. Also I don't get a real sense of threat.

As the focal point (pardon the pun) is the knife blade, I'd like to see a little more light on that. Also, I can't say I care for the subject matter, but that's a personal taste thing, so I wouldn't vote you down for that.
