"the beating of my heart"
by smardaz

Comment by Mephisto:
I don't know any swedish but since german is a rather close language, I do get the first word because it's literally the same in german. "misshandeln" in general means maltreat or abuse, but it is often used in the sense of "sexual or physical abuse", which is probably the reason why whatever translater you used, it translated "beating" into "physical abuse" aka misshandeln. Beating in the sense of "heartbeat" is most likely a completely different term so you might want to think about changing that term in order to avoid wrong interpretations from people who actually speak or understand swedish...not that there are many here but you know...;-)

Nice portrait btw!

Is this a "thumps up" or "thumps down", lol. Interesting.

Great dof and sense of humor (do those two things go together?) for an untitled photograph.

ha initially this struck me as an old pair of boxer's shoe's with laces...took me a minute to notice the glove. nice shot i bet it's getting hammered. i like it 6 ok i'm not sure if this was an intended or an unitended homage to david ashman but after reviewing his work i will assume it is, bumping this score to a 7

At first glance, no. At second glance, yes!

though this is a "still life" (isn't moving) it doesn't constitute being a still life...at least not in my head...I will give you extra point for clarity of your subject...(so for some you are way ahead)
