Ouch! Now who would be so brave to do such bodily harm to make such an intense entry?

Not who I thought you were but not surprised because you're just as creative

Ouch! good one

This must be what they mean by "suffering for your art!" Good job and good luck

Have you looked at it rotated so it's horozontal? Might be kind of cool. *shrug*

really wonderful

Come on Josh, I'm not the only photo masochist around here

Nice one, good luck

Stunning! These photographers are determined

NOT FAIR! I don't know too many women that would do this kinda stuff unless a lot of money or presents or a bentley GTC 2011 pearl white with tan interior were involved!!! LOL GREAT SACRAFICE!!!

Well Gee Locks, can you blame me? I was just convinced this was yours. So the author has surprised me because masochism is not what I'd expect from them. Still one of the most interesting shots in the contest.

ok I have to go with that I'm not 100% convinced that it's REAL blood but the whole presentation is absolutely amazing!!!! Someday I hope to have an imagination as most of everyone I've seen on here has!

good idea, good shot and I'm curious if you can catch the egg-photo with this.

Awesome - I agree with Kyricoms comment that this would look good horizontal to - to match the title - making it appear as though the fist is punching.

Congrats James..Amazing to see such passion for the artwork ..Hope your hand is healed now.

Very suggestive atmosphere created by the unexpected element arrangement. Very particular shot.

Oooo! i like this! very well done and on theme! best of luck to you

Creative, and nice light = )

creative set up looks good but the noise in the background is a little off putting for me

There must be an easier way to crack your egg lol, great lighting as always

hehe! I tried this yesterday with a tomato then a can of bloody mary mix...neither worked out. AND I still have splinters in my fingers from trying! LOL
Great outcome on your shot... Agree with the lighting.

nice my fav

very nice gl

different and very well done, and MnMCarta, hope you photographed your fingers with the splinters. LOL

My fav too... loved the light and creativity...

Very nice idea! very clever! nice work

yessss thats it

this is really a good quality of a photo. Oh, blood is magenta? Let me guess... your real Name CMYK?

There's a wee umbrella in that drop there!

Nice eye...yes, in the Hi-rez you can make out the studio umbrella....I favor those over soft-boxes because they are easier to store and transport when not in use and have great light distribution also...thank you

Lol - love the description too. Well done

Well...you beat me to it!....this was next on my list ...LOL, really nice entry as always, great entry

Sweet job! Love the lighting.

excellent
