slightly tigther crop, more rigor mortis on the hand, a little less leading to hand in the heart and drops and i think things would be looking more solid. i sure as hell dont like the 18 1s you got even if it was 4 years ago. i think it had less to do with the photo more to do with the sadness.
I'm surprised this did so poorly. I really like the whole mood of the picture. DPC generally does not like OOF stuff, so that blur over the right part of your shot might have hurt you. A smaller aperture would have given you more dof.
Well, I tried keeping shallow dof for 2 reasons
1) it might have made it more "Aaahhh Gross" types
2) my recipe of blood was not good ( as pointed in earlier comment as well ). I did not wish viewers to get distracted by it.
anyways i got quite a few constructive feedback on this as well. I would take those for future use.

Original in a challenge lacking same. Vignetting (lensbaby?) adds a bit of vaudeville as does the direct lighting. I'm marking this high for 2 reasons. It's a good original image and I'm sick of pet and "wedding ring shadows on a bible" winning ribbons.
