 I really enjoyed making this shot, its probably one of my favorite shots i have ever done to date, and i hope it does really well. Only my 4th ever submission on this site :). I chose to do a shot like this because i really felt it goes with my movie; which is all about self harm in teenage girls and manic depression. I hope you see the relevance.

Setup - Lots of ketchup, ribena and brown marker pen :P
focused light onto subject matter.

Processing - Brightness increase, contrast increase, curves, crop, neat image, border.

"Dawn isn't like other kids her age — full of typical teenage angst about boys, school and parents. Her pain goes far deeper, and to deal with her emotional overload she physically cuts herself. The problem of adolescent girls committing self-mutilation is very real, and this movie exposes the growing epidemic. It's a film you can't afford to miss." - www.mylifetime.com

Not familiar with this movie title. Looks like a gore film based on your image. The white seems a bit overblown, but there's a definite...message with your photo. Kind of disturbing, but I'm not into this particular genre of movies.

Blood is a little too fake, and only kinda fits the title, I do like the B and W. 5

This image is terribly disturbing. I hope it's faked, but it sure looks real. If it's real, I hope you get help.
