This is one of my favorites, I am still trying to figure out how you did this. From looking at the shadows I think that the pencil is close to the camera. That is all I can come up with though. Great photo. (9)

I am shocked at the amount of people that didn't get this. The newness jumped right out at me. Maybe from my personal experience with new knives. lol. I personally think you did a great job with this.

Thanks to everyone who commented. "New Knife" was the concept of this photo. I figured new knives cut people. I really like Jim's suggestion of the title "New Cook" or "New Chef". That would definitely have fit as well.

Anyway, as you can see by my description of the photo, I knew the "blood" was bad. I could have sworn I had some fake blood around, but I couldn't find it. I shot this at like 10pm Sunday night and we didn't even have any food coloring. I believe the final concoction was a mix of Caro Syrop, Ketchup, and Hershey's Chocolate Syrup. Definitely didn't come out good on the knife, but I don't think the rest is too bad.

Anyway, thanks again.

I like the way you composed your shot.
Where did the "red" come from? It doesn't seem to fit in.
I don't understand what is new about this picture.

Excellent. The detail is superb. The cropping is spot on as is the lighting.

I love this photo, very colourful and high contrast, really emphasising the sharpness of the knife and the red colour of the "blood". It looks a lot more like tomato sauce/catsup, but a fun idea :)

Very funny! I Love it. I'd be interested to see if eliminating the pepper from the upper left improves the photo at all. Great job! 9 md
