Nice, I don't see how you could have gotten 1's. I'd give it an 8 at least. The handle does seem a bit oof, though.

Very graphic. The overblown lighting really helps to make the image pop out of the picture. Love the shadow under the knife, almost makes it look like its floating. Great details and shadows in the handle of the knife.

The reflections and shadows on the droplets of blood really help to make it look like real blood.

personally i think that shot rocks. the blood looks very real and stands out great against the white background.

+ i love knives (neat handle), i would of given it a 10 if i had noticed it earlier :)

Very dramatic. Some side lighting might help eliminate some of the hard shadow. Good job.

This subject is undoubtetaly uncomfortable for many people, so this might not get very high scores. The pic is very well taken, nice composition and the blood looks real. - 8

Great shot, VERY realistic looking blood and that is hard to do. Unless of course you used REAL blood!!

sometimes I wonder about some of you folk. This one and the axe chopping off the fingers. at least with this one it could be argued you killed something to eat (non-human) unless you're a cannibal...in which case.....PUUUKE!
