WHOOOOO HOOOOOOO.... Finally a blue ribbon, Thanks everyone. Thanks amiee for helping me come up with the name, Kim for making me reshoot this to add the blood and a huge thank you to my youngest son Hunter for hitting the button on the remote for me as you can see my hands were a little tied up.
I shot this threw an umbrella just under the camera which was in front of me about waist high. I took about 80 shots or so and this was the last one I took. As soon as I saw it I knew it was the one I would be using.
As for the blood... check out my "Chocolate Covered Strawberry" shot :D

I came back to this photo to admire the work. I remember when this photo won and I couldn't stop viewing it! Still blows my mind every time I look at it!

Everything I have ever learned about being a better photographer teaches me never to just have a hand pop up out of nowhere. It actually doesn't even look like his hand or it's too big for his body. I know it is because it would be silly to use a fake hand there but I'm just confused, off to read comments left by others.
:)
Yeah I took this photo before I learned all that, besides in the original photo you can see that the hand is attached to me. Only in the crop does it lose it's connection. But I still stand by what I say.
Yo, it's a cool photo anyway. Rules are made to be broken. That is rule nr 1 in my book. :)

What can I say...? If I had to come in second, at least I came in second to a much more imaginative image defining risk itself! Very nicely done!
I'm not blowing smoke here - I actually found the images in this challenge fairly boring - my own image included! Yours was the only one that creatively said anything! Congrats!
Great composition. Sinister look in his eyes. I actually like the strong light source and dark background. It leaves me with the impression that he has something to hide. Don't care much for the boarder.
This is great! I love it! I always want to enter but never do because I can never think of anything clever or creative to do. You have clearly done that here and I envy your talent. Oh... The composition and lighting are fantastic as well. You may have done it intentionally but the only thing that kept it from being a 10 are the blown highlights on the glove. Great work!
Very sinister, really well lit. There's something about the look in the eye and the glove that suggests he's moving in for a full body search, but I try not to hold that thought. 9
