Challenge: Straight from the Camera (Advanced Editing IV*)
Camera: Canon EOS-300D Rebel
Lens: Canon EF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 II
Location: My bathroom
Date: Jul 1, 2006
Aperture: f/13
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1.6 sec.
Galleries: Emotive
Date Uploaded: Jul 2, 2006

 I'm pretty sure this won't go over too well, but it's worth a shot. Shot in my bathroom through a transparency with the scratches and darkened edges. It was a fun shot, although BBQ sauce and ketchup really start smelling real bad, real fast.

this is great.
looks like it has been post processed already, but obviously hasn't.
It did take me a couple of views before noticing the head in his hand.
I thought it was a frying pan to start with :-)
excellent idea and execution (no pun).

You are a sick dude. ...adding you to my favorites.

I'm not an advocate of violent images, but sometimes it's therapeutic - getting it out of your head. :-) As far as the scoring, DPC voters don't care much for graphic images, but some "dark" images have won ribbons. Keep hacking away. ;-)

let me ammend what my husband said by adding that although its more realistic that food coloring, corn syrup and cocoa powder mixture is sooo messy. it will stain everything. i dont reccomend it for something like this shot as its all over the place. i also dont recommend you get it in your ear, lol we found that out the hard way. well I did. great photo. wish i saw it during voting. definite ten from me.

As I already said you were robbed with this score. These shots never do well here but I bet many of the people that score these shots low go to see horror movies. go figure. Very nice creativity on using the transparency for the peephole effect. for a more realistic blood try corn syrup, red food coloring and cocco powder.

I think you were AHEAD of the curve on this one

I'm really surprised this didn't do well on DPC....NOT. Forget the scores.

The word "Robbed" springs to mind. Keep shooting dude, you have some amazing work in your portfolio.

Quite believable. Looks like peeping through a hole in the wall, too. The atmosphere and the colours are just right. The shapes under the head are confusing. 9 [hope this was a set up :)]

Love it! One of a few that I gave a 10 to for this challenge. Composition is spot on and has been really well executed. Good luck!

It's a pity your blood dosn't look red enough, almost looks like spagetti sauce. :-). Love to see how you got the vignette when the comments some up after voting. 7

Sorry, I absolutely HATE snuff pics. Nice vignetting though, so I'll give you a 2 instead of a 1. Don't worry, it's just one vote.

Disturbing - Yet I feel happy to see this after clicking mundane numbers on peoples ruddy pets and flowers... Good job and a well deserved 9

Why indeed. Technically and, in "execution", a good photo, but otherwise nauseating and disturbing, not a combination that personally works for me.

too posed.

I really don't like this photo's theme. Not cutting edge, just a little sickening.

Scary!! Cool shot!

 07/03/2006 10:28:55 AM
scary, but well capture--like a movie. peeping through a keyhole?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Looks like you had some fun doing this photo. For some reason it reminds me a little of the Sopranos, this could be Christopher down at the butcher disposing of someone that crossed Tony. Well done!

Oh my!

Holy crap! Something's wrong with your ketchup bottle. Seriously, scary!
