Jon Lucas seems to be the only person who commented that the ketchup was humourous. That was the intention!! Realistic blood would not have had the cartoon-like humour I was after.
Because I'm on dialup, this image took a while to load, and so it took me a moment to realize what it was (my first thought was a slug. The second was bird poo... but then... GAH! lol. Focus is a little weird right at the bottom, and the blood looks like ketsup. Good idea though.
oh man! next time use a bottle opener. ;P
well composed shot. nice dof. i like the contrasting shapes (diagonals, circle, etc) i just wish the ketchup looked more like blood...
Nice idea, gruesome shot - still find it a little confusing. 'Blood' is obviously tomato sauce and tooth is not entirely clear - kinda looks like chewing gum? I think it would be more effective if realistic blood was shot. Corn syrup and Red / Blue food dye works well and would definately enhance your shock factor. Otherwise nice composition and good use of post work
Really nice colors.Is that ketchup? Depth of field is excellent. Sharpness of the reflections are very appealing. Not to thrilled about the frame colors.
The 'blood' looks a lot like ketchup. A tooth would have bent the cap at the edge instead of a straight line down the center. (Not that I know from experience!) :-)
Gross!!! But the elements of the pic are ok. Great color combinations. Nice clarity on the bottle cap and tooth. I would have liked to be able to see the full of the green - is it a bottle? Always one for borders as well.
Even though it's clearly ketchup, my mouth hurts just looking at this. Do you keep an old tooth lying about by the way, or did you pull it out specially for this challenge? :)
