Ouch

Just a few minor cuts, but what is art without sacrifice?

i agree with you author well done ! great shot

I hope you got it right first time...............

Stunning image, wonderful work here author...Bravo!

Great shot, love it

Yikes! The extremes we go to in the name of art!

What a sacrifice, but it was well worth it.

Awesome work....best of luck on a sure winner!!

Congratulations!!!

an interesting shot...........how did you achieve it, without damage to whoever the hand belongs to!

You want my secrets!?!? Ok fine I'll share. I hollowed out the bulb then filled it with clear gelatin, then i put a small hole where the thumb is that way not a lot of pressure had to be applied to break it. The gelatin acted as a cushion slowing the movement so that 1. capturing this was a bit easier and 2. the fingers wouldn't go in to far increasing the risk of cutting my hand. And I didn't escape unscathed, if you look at the high res you'll see at the top of the thumb one of the shards is starting to go in, didn't do too much damage though.

OMG author - you have far too much time on your hands lol Thanks for the details though - very creative

Author, that is one of the most clever ideas I have heard and really related a unique, yet puzzling effect. This is one of the best I've seen! GL to you!

And I was suspecting it was you

nicely done and very clever, just love the idea and the application. Hats off on another great entry!

Excellent photo....gl

Wonderfull !

nice title.. lol

Yes it is! And all diet sodas taste like saccharin ands crap so what a great idea to drop one. Good capture and unique entry. GL!

Great title...

Great shot......GL

looks like you must have gotten 2 useable ones I liked the first but this is even better!

Thanks for your comment, locksmagic. Actually, this is the same picture - I just recropped and rotated it.

Awesome!

I wonder if you are who I think you are? But before I vote I would like to say, wow! Well done! This makes me want to go find some stuff to break.

EDIT: A little surprised, I didn't expect it to be you, author.

ummmmm, thanks?

GL

LOL, was that supposed to be a compliment?

Wow, this is interesting. Can you give a description to what type of settings you used and maybe what kind of glass is it? It's a good contrast between the two shades so kudos to your creativity!
