 Yes, yes, I wish I could of spot edited this.

Kill Bill is the fourth film by writer-director Quentin Tarantino. If you have not seen it and are not into deliberate over-the-top bloodletting, do not rent it.
Personally, I loved this film. One of my all time favorites. It is graphically (visually) beautiful.

This is Yukino. I had her pose in the backyard in the afternoon sun and with two teenagers holding a black blanket behind her. The sword is a heavy stainless steel blend 'play' one. Blunt as the heel of my foot. Probably good for klonking someone with.

I appreciate the fact that you added the "if, then don't rent" part in the comments - nice that you are thinking of others in this way. :-)

nice DOF and comp. The eyes and sword interact nicely.

Very well done. I would have preferred the sword not be totally blown out, though I don't know how you would fix that in basic editing. Gerat composition and strong leading lines.

Flash reflection on the sword is distracting

cool idea. if you did have the oportunity to pose... i wish you hadn't placed so much emphasis on the hand, as it seems the least interesting element. The sword and the eyes dead on, with black all around.

Outstanding Shot. Even though the blade is a bit blown out I still gave you a 10.

Wonderful piece, I love the intensity.

I think that you needed a little yellow in there to make this stand out

awesome shot, perfect for the challenge...

Not bad. It's up against a coupld of others that I think are a bit better for the same film.

Great shot!!!!

Given the model used I would have went with House of Flying Daggers instead. Great shot regardless.

So nice, but I guess it could've been slightly better. In any case, a very good photo. Good luck...

crouching tiger hidden dragon? jk nice image

Excellent. Love how the hilt frames her eye. Knew the movie right away from the picture alone. 8. With detail in the sword instead of blown highlights, would've been a 9 or 10.
