The second remake of a cell phone picture of mine I've done at this site. Hope you like it.
The only thing I don't like quite as much is the shadow, but with the shadowy nation of the photo I don't think it subtracts too much.

Wish you would have stepped a little further back from the wall so that texture would have been lost and you'd have a clean white background. Otherwise well done but not the best fitting subject for the challenge IMHO.
I like the expression and the clarity in the knife. I wish the background complemented the photo more... it seems rather ordinary for such an extraordinary situation
