Its a rework of a failed idea I had for the pencil challenge, inspired by the XTC record cover. One handed photography is hard, much harder than the one handed voting Ive been doing recently. Eventually I promoted myself to artistic director and got the Mrs to press the button when the pen was vertical.

I don't really get the title but that isn't really relevant. You did a good job of carrying through and executing this image. Maybe add a little blue to the blood, since it is too orange. Congrats. Grayce aka Gracious
Ouch. An what good foresight to put down a piece of paper to keep the blood off! I think a closer or tighter crop would have made this more effective. Good work though. karmat
Lousy fake blood. Beautiful table. Good shot of hand, arm, table, pen, and great shadow. Just not convincing is stuck in hand. But good clear photo otherwise.
A very effective illusion. (I can only presume the pen was doctored, as there's no obvious photographic or optical trickery going on.) Probably one of the best in this challenge (although if you'd called it 'The pen is mightier than the sword' you might have been awarded my first ever 10). seasick - 9.
The illusion is good so I'll go with that score wise, but that has got to be the fakest looking blood I have ever seen. I think that this coud have been framed or cropped better as well.
