One of my favorites in the challenge!

Compositionally, I really like how the scissors occupy a spot in the lower left and just the feet are showing beyond that. I think that sets it up as being very well balanced.

Technically, I really liked the high contrast in this. It detracts some from a "sharp focus" but in this shot, sharp focus would have taken the edge off of the mood of the shot. It looks, and feels violent, which is what I imagine blood stained scissors would be the result of. The bluish hue gives it that horror movie, dead feeling.

Overall, again, I really like this shot and felt it nailed the challenge. For whatever reason, the story that formed in my mind was that someone was in the hospital and met the end of their life, violently. What it is about this shot that says "hospital" to me, I cannot define. Maybe a secret phobia, or something?

Great work.

Interesting take on the topic, good composition and techs.
I might have tried to bring up the green in her eyes a bit more.
I'm not sure about the nails they seem a bit of an overkill to me, perhaps the "Snow White" theme would be enough to carry the concept. 8

this was obviously inspired by an image in a UK Photography magazine right? I think you did an OK job, and I think this image should do well...eye contact is great, lighting is great...well done 8

I love the multitude of lines and shapes that all follow the one line in the picture. The texture works great too with the sepia.

This may be a single direction of rotation but not a single line, however, it is a great picture and I am scoring it accordingly.

I am not sure the dark background (i.e. same as subject) does the image justice.

Comment by MaryO:
Really nice image, but a bit of a stretch for the challenge IMO. Mostly because I see the line of columns as background to the kids, who grab my eye immediately and look like they're having a blast playing in that big space.
