Don't worry, it's not real blood (although I did consider that :-P )
it's magenta ink for refilling the inkcartridge mixed with hairgel (yes..) for more substance.
the title maybe a bit dramatic but i wanted it to look like a tear of blood.
Superb shot. Very good execution.
what i like is the cleaver use of space at the bottom of the photo. It gives the dripping "blood" a sense of suspense. Well done!
@eyewave. I don't think the lights are blown. it's very white but not blown. on my monitor I can still see the whole flower.
I looked on two calibrated monitors. I can also see the whole flower, but that's because the background has a tone. I checked in Photoshop and the lights are definitely blown. It is still a great shot, wish you had entered it in Free Study.
I love this image. I think the lighting is a bit bright here and could really use some color for a dramatic standout but I really like the it. What exactly did you use for lighting and the backdrop?
Strange picture. Where did you get the idea of mixing ink and hairgel? The drop looks almost like it has a little bite taken out of it. I like the detail on the outside of the lily.
