 The fingers are mine, and I pulled the hammer back after the start of the exposure. I took more than 150 photos before I got a picture that I felt was good enough to submit...

I like the idea, the motion blur (which really gives a sense of impending doom), color of your background, and the idea in general, but I don't think anyone would hold a nail they were about to hit like that. 7

Oops! Nice motion effect. I'm guessing extended flash exposure with reversed motion. 7

I like the swish and the background. Does your finger still hurt? 9.

Love the motion blur! Without it this image would be much worse. Nice job.

Fantastic shot and I love the motion of the hammer. While some may argue that this does not convey pain,,, it truly does to me as I have managed to do this several times in my lifetime.
