This says lutchenko to me.... I don't know why... It does just.

I'm really liking the involved set-up and the thinking behind the idea but I think going down this route, in order to preserve your 'picture' illusion has meant that there is only some much drama and interest in the lighting. The clever execution will certainly get you some votes but I think shooting the hand, thistle and goo against black with no frame and more interesting targeted low-key lighting might have made for a better image.

Having said all that, I can appreciate the work here. 7.

What a wonderful imaginative idea! I think it would have worked better to have the forearm a little dirtier as well though.

Original approach and very well executed. Somehow I really don't want to know what's the drip coming out of the flower :D

i'm giving this one a high score...i can't even tell if i like it, but there is something about it that has me so intrigued- and i think that's a pretty good quality in any art piece 9
