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 :|

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.
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) Photo 9 Transparency 9 total 9 swash
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)
