"Corporations make a killing." So true. Too many big businesses have built their profiits on the "BLOOD, sweat, and tears" of the working man. Your pic is chilling commentary of that attitude.
very powerful statement. some have probably blasted you but they are fools :). few ways to improve this, most involving maybe some more dramatic lighting choices with a bit more shadow on the nail. . . otherwise excellent. 8. mag99
blood money...nice. I like the fitting look in George's eye...can't put it into words but it seems to go well with being nailed. Could have used a little more focus on the nail (I played with something similar this week and had a similar annoying problem with focus on the 'nail.' I think the texture on the black fabric detracts a little too. 6
This is a great idea; the blood money idea is inventive, the picture quality and composition is spot on and (I think) this could have been a winning picture but for one fatal flaw – the blood doesn't look real enough. I can't be more specific, and perhaps other voters wont be quite so pedantic, but for me personally, it spoils the whole picture – sorry…
Very clear shot. (was any money "hurt" in this production?) I like the angle of the bill, nice interest. Good amount of negative space. (gotta learn that myself) The closest thing I have to a critical (bad) comment is the head of the nail.....pretty picky. Mine is a money shot, too, so I think the challenge was met. 9 Swash
In my opinion the nail should have been through a credit card, since that is where most people are being bled dry! Good composition, lighting, I like this shot because, to me, it is almost visceral. lhall
Very nice idea, executed very well. I think it would perhaps look better of there wasnt blood actually on the nail, because really there would be no blood there, it would just be oozing out the money. I think also that if you wanted a black background that it should actually be BLACK, not this dark grey colour. You just needed to take the brightness down a little bit in photoshop. Overall I gave this 7.
