This was shot in the back room of my grandmother's house on the arm of her couch. Playing around with inverse colors of several different images, I noticed that human flesh ends up a cold blue tone. That inspired me to shoot this image. The orange bloom is actually a light blue artificial flower and the trail of "blood" is teal fabric paint. I overexposed the shot to guarantee that I had a white backdrop to invert into pure black. Other than obviously inverting the colors, I also used an adjustment layer to help the colors "pop" a bit more. The image is slightly macabre, but I figured it would fit right in for a "negative image". ;)

That flower is flaming! I love the tones of the orange, it's like a mini fire. The color combo with the hand is good but the texture on the hand I'm not so sure about. The red tendril thingie looks out of place too. I think the flower has enough character to have stood out on its own without anything else in the shot.
