Well not sure why people didn't get this at the time! I knew straight away what you were going for and never once thought the needle and thread was to do with the baby but definitely the mother! A very good cliche and sorry this didn't score higher! :o)

Greetings from the critique club.
Well, I think this image may make people squeemish a little. Which may not get a good score from people, nor do people generally choose to look at unpleasant things. (Barring medical professionals perhaps) While the baby in the background adds something to the shot, it also makes it more distubing, why are they sewing up a baby? Gives a sense of tragedy. The macro of the needle and thread may have done better on its own, even in the context of the image, it is not such a wow macro in that usually good macros have something intricate or some detail that is usually overlooked.

Anyway just a couple thoughts, you did do a good job of using DOF in your image. Keep shooting!

i just want to say so everyone knows that this pic was taken
after my cousin had a baby(hence the baby in the back ground) and they were sewing her up.

Good macro of the thread and needle, though the meaning of what is going on here makes me shudder.

I'm not sure what this is depicting, but if the intention was a bit clearer this would be an even more powerful photo.

I like the idea and the theme, but it disturbs me a bit that the photo is done with a very small child in the background as the subject of your entry with all the blood on the tool. it also seems a bit noisy.

Yikes, this is kind of a scary picture! I'm not sure what the stitching job is intended to be, and it looks like someone has already been at it.

Compositionally it's ok, albeit a bit soft in the sharpness on the pliers, but conceptually, this picture bothers me... I almost couldn't choose a number for the vote.

seems blurry

This is painful to look at ... because it is an affective medical image. I'm thinking a little on the yellow side perhaps due to the lighting in that setting.
