Alright, here is my first amateur DPChallenge post...

Glass of water (shock) in front of book. Acrylic paint combination added to water. I couldn't recreate what I saw in my head but after 100 shots, this is the best of the bunch :|

A little morbid, but an excellent shot, especially considering the book.

nice idea! i like the "plasma". it really adds something interesting to this often tried setup. i would have cropped the photo on the top, just below the water level.

stephen king! of course a 10! :)

Clever shot.

i like how the image is cropped at top to focus on the important line of text, and how the repetition of the key word is highlighted below, all tied together nicely by the red. The top line of text is underlined by the positioning of the waterline, and the underline leads down to the REDRUM text.
The natural defractions and distortions are cool, too. I see a lot of thought put into this composition, even before the red stuff was dropped in.

Cool layering. The droplets in the water is the best! Good choice of text for background, very fitting. (You might have saved this for next week, kinda works)

The Shining! Redrum, Redrum.....interesting idea, is that real plasma?

Looks more like red paint that blood. This might look better if the glass of water were magnifying blood running down the page of the book (as opposed to being dripped in the water).

doubly fulfilled the challenge - color and distortion. :) however, as for the implementation, your horizon isn't quite level and the text above the glass (which i would expect to be in focus) looks somewhat oversharpened. -- gr8photos (3)

I like the concept. Very imaginative.

Very good combo! 7

Cool idea, It'd be nice to remove the distortion from the text for a better effect.

REDRUM, MURDER..very witty! Great play on words and the relation with the red fluid.
