I've been putting this one off several times cuz I just couldn't get a feeling on this photo. The photo is very well done and love the absence of color. I find it adds a certain freakiness to the photo. Almost movie posterish. Well done and good luck in tihs challenge. <7>
Interesting motion and the monotone drab adds to the mood. I reall think that the square framing works against you on this. I'm a little biased against square frame in general, but I think that a portrait layout would have added to the lenght of the thrust stoke on the knife.
YIKES - is Norman Bates resurrected??? Good use of movement for the challenge but the colors are so muted and subtle that it doesn't have alot of punch for me. Good luck in the challenge.
Fits the challenge but subjectively i find it disturbing. Objectively there is a lack of contrast with the background and the arm which I find unappealing.
