 THE IMAGE: I am not into Halloween. But I thought I would join in the challenge for a bit of fun. This is a butternut pumpkin, the knife is a knife of course and the blood is Vintage Balsamic Vinegar.

THE EDIT: I used layers and mask and a selective hue to bring out the blood colour. The rest was pretty basic...

PREDICTION: I guess there will be some clever shots from the USA as Halloween is thankfully not a big deal here...6.0000 would be nice

hehe...now this is original!! What a great idea, brilliant really, plus well-executed! The blood on the detailed knife is the perfect touch to this amazingly creative image. wow, I just look at this and go wow! This seems so real, it's how I feel when I carve pumpkins and you created that feeling so perfectly!
