Greetings from the Critique Club. The following comments are in response to your request for a critique on your challenge submission. Please feel free to send me a PM concerning my comments.

This image is intriguing. I like the repetition of pattern in the blood and twisting of the thread. Compositionally this is a strong image. I like, too, the selective focus on the head of the needle but think it would be nice to see the sharpness of the needle's point.

Somehow, it seems that that's a lot of blood for a little needle to cause. And I'm not sure about the connection to the challenge subject of hate. It is, perhaps, this ambiguity that kept the image from scoring higher in the challenge...what is the hate? Do you hate sewing? Did you hate yourself and prick yourself repeatedly with this tiny weapon? I'm not sure.

Overall, I like the creativity in this image. It's interesting to look at and slows me down in viewing it to try and figure it out. I'm sorry if my "critique" is short but I'm at a loss to say what should or could be different.

Keep working at it, you've got an interesting vision!

Good close up of the needle's eye. Is this a sharp needle, hard to tell.

this is a really disturbing and intriquing image. still not sure where the "hate" is in this image, but willing to give you the benefit of the doubt because it certainly does convey malice. - 8
