I will get a lot of comments saying that they don't like the orangeness of it, but I like it. It adds to the moody feel, like it is in a dimly lit fortune tellers tent or something.

I hope people aren't too offended by the blood.

Wrong card. Should be hanged man. like the colors and basic composition but the surup is too thin.

Kind of creepy feeling! lhall

you do know that in most tarot readings the death card only means change, and not literally death, right? ah well, at least it's a knife and not a sniper rifle. well done shot.

Catsup would have looked more realistic than kool-aid (lol)

Don't understand . Don't mess with satanical things.

Wonder if it'd improve the picture with not quite such a heavy orange cast?? Was your white balance set appropriately??

that "blood" looks tasty like its fruit juce or something.

the death card never means death....

Good picture. Only criticism is the knive looks a bit flat and dull. it took about ten seconds to recognised it for what it was. Play around with your lighting. i expected more people to use tarot cards than did. I wonder if the sniper in DC put people off?

Good setup, but unfortunately there's a really bad color cast.

Good concept. I think it would work better without the fake blood, which isn't realistic enough to be convincing. Good luck. 5, just-married

Composition is OK. I might have moved the knife handle down some and removed the two big drops of blood on the knife as they are distracting to the overall composition. Lighting OK.

Might have been better with a more natural white balance.
