Thank you for the great comments! I tried something different. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
I wanted to go for a "Crime scene" kind of dark image. Shocking and a bit disturbing. My initial flash was that bread is something you put a knife through every day without a second thought. What if this time it was different... |

Greetings from the Critique Club
First Impression
Not sure why, but at first I associated this with a religious theme. Breaking of the bread, etc... Perhaps I could have been influenced by another photo (or photos) immediately preceeding seeing this while voting in the challenge?
The second thing that came to mind is blood, knive, gore, violence...
I'm sorry to say that I totally failed to see the humorous aspect of this until now, the second time I've looked at this photo. Quite honestly, reviewing the comments you received during the challenge helped me see the humor.
Looking Deeper
From a technical standpoint you've put this image together quite well. The composition flows (no pun intended) quite naturally and the photo is easy (not awkward) to view. I want to say the exposure could be brought up a little but then you would probably blowout the white flour.
BTW, I do like the way you've created the border. Any other way and the handle of the knive would have blended in or been left to hang there (if no border at all).
Considering the wide-open nature of the 'Bread' challenge I can see now that your entry was quite creative given the subject matter.
If you have any questions, or need clarification of a point, please feel free to send me a PM. Thanks! |

| I hate it when my bread bleeds. Good shot, a little dark but overall will then. |

| The color tone does a good job of helping to convey the idea. (That's jam, right?) |

| Whimsical & fun. The "blood" is OOF & this detracts from your theme. Great texture on the bread. Nice high key image. |
