These beautiful ritual daggers hang in the home of a friend who collects knives. It struck me that making an object of such grace and elegance out of a weapon makes its own kind of statement about fashion, and about the things that we choose to exhibit as our own kind of personal expression.

Nice knives, but I'm not getting any link to "fashion" other than your title. A complete shoehorn in my opinion and therefore I'm dropping a couple of points from my score for my perception that it DNMC.

In honor of [user]K10Guy[/user] I am doing 10 comments tonight, here is yours :)

Brown attempt? Should be a contender.

In any case, the subject matter is.. I want to say boring, but it's not really quite that bad, it's just not at all exciting, or really very interesting. The wall texture is far more interesting to me than the knives or their frame. However, there are more issues here.. Your white balance is off, the entire image is quite soft (out of focus), this looks like it was shot at ISO 1600, and there's a banded shadow on the left and bottom of your frame.

Ok, don't hate me, just being honest.. Good try, an especially good try if you're trying for the brown.
