The blood is such a pretty red (heh)
I see the author's pic. So you didn't like his last book? (heh)
lol and the napkin is for.... cleanup?
Did you notice the tinge of blue in his hair? That is kind of interesting.
Last but not least - you got some seriously interesting thought provoking comments. THAT is a sign of a work of art... |

| There isn't really an aspect that connects me to the emotion here. The blood looks fake, and it's impossible to tell who got stabbed here. |

| Colors are vibrant and it really pops, there is something off for me though in the way the objects are lined up. To get the emotion of what you are going for I would need to "believe" something terrible has happened here...and thing are just to obviously placed. I like that you used a b&w photo and the textures come through nicely also. |

| I'm not quite sure what to make of this as far as the meaning. I definitely see the emotion portrayed, but was the guy in the picture just murdered? Did his scorned lover commit suicide? Why the red rose, and why is the knife tip just a tiny bit embedded in the photo? A title would help. All I can think is it's some psychotic killer's strange MO. Blood further up the knife blade would indicate deadly penetration. Technically a very good picture. 8 |

| A bit ham handed, but I like it anyway. If it's meant to be a bit tongue-in-cheek, it's working. If it's an actual expression of rage, it's rather cliche'. |

I enjoy the idea/concept here, however for me the elements that distract include:
Over smoothing,
Missing tip of the knife
Unrealistic blood
blown out whites
For some reason the blood looks like it is in globs, for me it doesn't look like a splatter, but maybe something that was added in post. The tip of the knife is what makes a good knife. If your idea was to have it in the picture, I would suggest making deep gashes in the picture, as it is now, the tip is missing.
I think images like these, darker, scream to be gritty, grudgey, dark, the smoothness just really makes everything seem flat and staged. |

| Its an interesting photo and in a photo like this its all in the details. For me I assume the photo was a gift, but the photo seems pretty formal and more of a headshot which makes me think maybe the the person on the other end got sick of their vanity. To me the blood seem to placed, if they had stabbed the person there wold be more than just a few drops and splatters on the end of the knife. For a set up like this I like to see it over the top. The lighting you used is really well done and the shadows are really soft and I like that there is no glare on the photo. |

| A sad (or macabre--depending on ones viewpoint)situation beautifully executed (no pun intended)in this shot. There's a face, but he's not the subject of the extreme emotion! |

| The blood is too obviously fake (too bright). |
