 This is so going to bomb but I entered it for a chuckle. Sci Fi nut that I am - the campy kind, it appealed to that part of me.

Usually I don't put my post comments in here but WTH .. here are my thoughts on my entry .. it was campy .. sci fi movies were made in that time frame .. the man in the shot that scooter wants me to get rid of is my hubby, so no chance of that (big grin) .. I asked him to look .. well, stiff and grade B - he did it perfectly in my opinion. I am so glad I entered this challenge even though I have never scored this low .. I voted on this challenge and was more than happy to give out scores a lot higher than I received and damn that made me feel good! Thanks for all of your comments. 13 THIRTEEN 3's - sheesh.

It seems there should be a lot more emotion to this image. The man with the knife has a blank look and far too relaxed a stance and this hurts the impact of the shot.
