 I'm definitely not 100% happy with this shot. When I first pictured it, I imagined much smoother blood, but...my hand tends to shake like my 80 year-old grandma, so...yeah. Looking at the image now however, I'm not too upset about it. The jagged edges of it contrast the curved torso in an interesting way. I still wish it was just a bit smoother...but oh well.

Enjoy the symbolism.

Since a few people didn’t quite get it…the first thing that comes to mind for me is a woman being impregnated against her will. There are other interpretations though.

Low votes: attack of the gore-haters. Gotta expect that. Good enough for a 6 from me. Woulda been 7 if the blood were more realistic. ;-) You should explain the symbolism in your notes. I didn't quite get it.

I clicked the underline button so you probably saw a blank comment for a while. I like the high-key-ness of this image, but I'm missing the meaning of the key?

I love the tones on the skin and the shock of the red, but it is hard to figure out that is a key without the title.
