Well, they did score almost exactly the same...
But I do agree that the knife one is better. It just looks like more thought and effort went into the idea, composition, lighting and processing. |

well as far as scores are concerned they're almost identical... but as far as placement I'd say the competition was stiffer in the Triptych- it had a higher median/average score and had more entries.
Personally i like them both but I think the triptych is a more complete, solid image, as something throws me off about the 'cross my heart' pic... i love the way the woman is lit but imo there needs to be more light on the blade, it is sort of dark as it stands |

| why do you say they were received differently? they scored about the same, 5.7ish... Of course, the topic of the last challenge implied un-happy end, so your second image was less shocking to a predisposed viewer... both are very strong, IMO. |

sorry i should have elaborated. I am not talking about score at all. Just how the photo effects you as a viewer. in my triptych image i had alot more negative comments, where i got alot more positive comments on cross my heart and hope to die. where they are showing off the same thing.

The "Cross My Heart" picture had a TERRIFIC title, a great play on words. It calls up a whole scenario of faithless woman and avenging man. If there were light gleaming on the blade, that image would have finished a LOT higher in the challenge.
The "Domestic Abuse" image is a lot more graphic, and correspondingly less dreamlike and more distressing, IMO. I think it finished about as high as it could.
