Hey a Spyderco - am I right?

Nice shot!

This does look very dramatic & yes I can see a face w/a strange long beard. Fun! Thanks for explaining your setup.

Thanks for sharing the setup, excellent shot, really sharp.

Couldn't help myself....

This one is really nice. I like the nice crisp lines of the knife.
06/02/2008 09:56:34 PM
Yes, this is very nice. Simple, hits right between the eyes.

This is terrific, the combo of red and knife is pretty cool.
Thank for the setup details, gotta get me some gels.

Amazing. Thats all I got.

Love the red background. Wonderful silhouette.

How did you do the background?

The knife is sitting on a table, underneath the table is a flash with a red gel on it pointing towards the background. The background is gray paper about 4 feet behind the table (a white wall would work too). It's a very simple setup and gives great results.

Gorgeous silhouette. I love how you can see a face there. How did you do the background?

Very very cool - love it.

Wonderful red colors and a great silhouette of the knife. The only thing I miss here is some kind of 3-dimensional effect.

Great shot...the red color is very powerful in this image. If you stare at the knife long enough u can almost see a side view of a face, like a distorted man in the moon. Ok back to the mushrooms... ;-)

Love the shape of that thing. This is a fantastic image.

Impessive silouette and great lighting. I think you picked the perfect style of knife for this shot. Horizon is just a tiny bit off. (Damn DPC, only two months ago I would have never even noticed when the horizon was off by a huge amount!)

I think you've figured out that "visual impact" thing. Looks good.

WOW..... this is totally awesome, and so graphic and so good.
A great simple but dramatic composition.
Great strong bold color, like blood, and I also love the "hot" silhouette effect, as it works extremely well here.....
Also love the square crop.
