perhaps a little too dark?

Thanks, but I intentionally wanted it dark, with the lighter lines simply "suggesting" the blades.

Great use of light.
You manage to light perfectly a very thin object as a blade!
Fine piece of art I say...

Interesting, but not enough focus on the blades with them merely "suggested." The brightly lit bases of the knives attract more focus.

To each their own, of course. But this is the way I liked it. Need subtlety in life

nice

Ooouuuuchhh ;- GL

Author, two or three more contests like this one, and you'll end up looking like shish kebab !! Nice one, though

Don´t let anyone tell you that you never suffer for your art

Your body is iron-deficient, blood too thin and too pale. Get some iron tablets.

I tried to chew on some iron, but it hurt my teeth!
