As I said on the first post, this is the one I prefer. I like the little "star". Great macroshot!

My condolances.....:-)
This one is definately my favorite....and a Fav!!

Extremely Cool Macro!!!!!!

Well, this one is definitely more artistic with the star filter and the clarity. I like the distance the other one provides, but you can't see the knife as clearly, so I'm going to go with this one as the better of the two. Is this taken with a macro setting or with a macro lens, PJ?

Wow! Say Macro with a kick. This is, in my opinion, the best of the two. Your star filter really adds the "Bling" to make it Pop. Into my Fav's also.. Great shot, PJ.

Faved P.j. and I like this one the best. Really a unique image.
Like star filter, I have to check into one for myself.

Nice other view,good picture.

I prefer this one - maybe because I like the star filter and the brighter light. Love the clarity and colors in both!

Fantastic shot, well done :-) I prefer this version.

that is a cool picture!

Of the two I prefer this one. Definitely an interesting creative concept. Well done

I like both, but this one just a little bit more. I Like the star filter.

The poor thing is literally bleeding to death! Between the two photos I would choose this one because the color and lighting are better here.

I like this one, the STAR!! and the lighting is perfect. Nice close-up shot PJ! thanks

Has to this one my dear! .. .lot more clearer..than 'tother ..

Neat shot! My favorite of the two posts. :o)

I like this one better, though I think the star effect detracts from the picture a bit.

Went from HERE to (T)HERE, and back from (T)HERE to HERE, and so on PJ. It has cost me about half an hour (lol) to find out that, to me, this one is better. Nice shot.

OOOoo! In my opinion I like this second one better! I like the way you did the shot and that sparkle really added to it! :)

First... Hi PJ! Long time since I have been active here. :o)
Now for my comments...
I have a definite preference for this shot... the lighting, the colour, the clarity. But I do prefer the widescreen format of the other pic. One thing I do know... for full impact one MUST view them in a large format.

I'll vote for number two ,,, for brightness and that little twinkle.

I like this one best. This is a really great photo!

Number two is my number one! This one provides a better angle and the first one was a little bit difficult to distinguish the knife at first glance. I like the star effect, which I think is an interesting contrast to the "death" and "blood" spatter. Very cool!!

I think this one gets my vote PJ, its just outstanding. The little star being a great finishing touch.

Your so bloodthirsty..Cteativity bordering on genius but bloodthirsty..Poor Lil old Pomegranite..

Wow, what a massacre! :) Great idea, wonderful realization and a perfect title. 10/10

Excellent post, PJ!

Great idea and nice scene of crime.
I think this one is the best. I like also the little star.
Be carefull,
- check if the murder's face isn't reflected in the blood.
- clean all the blood
- get rid of the knife
- get rid of the cadaver ( I advice to eat it )

I like this one the best also. It's brighter, and the star effect is cool. Nice shot on both though.

This is Fantastic..10/10..Woooow.

I think I'd prefer the quick death like this. It beats dying on the vine like a grape. Then you become a raisan. Oh well. This is my favorite for star and knife reasons. It does look like a droplet of blood on the counter. May be a day or two before I desire one of these. Very nice PJ. You're so creative and good.

Okay, I like this one best, you have a very fertile mind, loving it.

Well....I'm not sure,but I think I like the other one more.Don't really know why,but this is my opinion.Anyway,both are great!

PJ, I prefer this image to that of number one, but the one thing I find slightly off putting is the star. I think the lighting is better in this image and one can clearly see that the slayer of the pomegranate is a kitchen knife. In image one the knife handle is too dark to see exactly what it is.

no doubt about it PJ! This one outshines the other one in detail and clarity! What an eye you have - photographing the most unlikely of things and making a picture worth posting!!! great work!

This one does it for me PJ.. Hope you enjoyed this lucious fruit after the hatchet job...LOL!! Well done...=D

Kind of odd choice of shots, but I definitely like this one better. Hope you got to enjoy some pomegranete juice afterwards - yummy stuff!! :)
Pam

The star did it for me ~ I prefer this one much better ~ though I believe both are very artistic images. Very creative work PJ.

The winnah...by a nose...is this one! The star-burst and angle make the difference.

don

This is the winner, IMHO! The little star of light makes this image special!

This is definitely my fave of the two PJ. I love the closeness and the shadows, boy, that juice just glistens, doesn't it? ;)

well, i for one, favor this one. the droplet hanging down steals the show!

I'm voting for this one... it's more.... luscious... and that sparkle is the show-stopper.
mary

Although I preferred the puddle of the other one, that clarity and lighting illustrate the concept better on this one. It looks almost gruesome PJ...I'll never see a pomegrate the same way again! I love your creative imagination. :)

~ Creative macro! This one I like best.
:)

I like them both - blood oranges - what an innovative subject and perfectly captured, both of them. I have a slight preference for the other one, but its a tough call :)

beautiful shots - both of those. i liked this one more than the earlier one. specially the starry brilliance is excellent.

That looks cool - a bloody buisiness. I like this more, than the other. Very well done, faved.

of the two, i prefer this one too, i like the sparkle and i like that juice drip too, looks thick and bloodlike , great titles!

Ouch !!! This one is...... unword. Colors and light are fantastic. No comparison with the first one. I'd rather the second.

Both are fantastic and very original and creative but like the others I prefer this one...marvellous macro, PJ.

I like this one ..it is a little lighter and I like the added sparkle...nice work:)

I personally prefer this one Pat
Why...Because this is a lighter better exposed pic, and the juice droplet doesn't look like blood unlike the other one.
Hope You found this helpful it seems I'm echoing the majority opinion :d

...and it just gets better. I would not have believed it could get better. This is just an awesome capture. Well done. Going into my faves too!

also a good one, but I think I prefer the other, darker version :o)

also interesting but I like the first on e more because of the lighting:))

They're both great. I like the star filter and the lighting on this one a little bit better. Interesting topic!! Remind me not to make you mad LOL!!

Very abstract and very nice.

Well Pat..i do like the both of them. Good thing you mentioned the subject in title or i would not know what this is. You have good exposure in both but seem to have more DOF in this second one...color is great in both as red commands the eye to look. personaaly i think either one is in the eye of the viewer...very intgeresting work!!...gerry

There really are people called 'food stylists' who are paid to take photos of food and make it appetising aren't there. This new departure of yours is tantalising - not least because the DOF, focus and angle on both of these make my mouth water imagining the sharpness of the juice. My vote goes for this one - just because it's a bit closer in and I love that star of light. Seriously great work PJ, who was it who said that they don't go looking for unusual things to photograph, they look for ways to make the everyday unusual? 10/10 from me.

I like this one more, since there is that shining effect and the lights and colors are more bright.

Both are cool images but I prefer this one. It's brighter and clearer. Love the star filter. Great macro shot

Liked the angle and lighting much better in this one.

I like this one better, the details show better and the color stands out a little more. Great close up.

i like this one better. the angle of the shot and the lighting in it is perfect. great job on this.

hah... how lovely. Out of curiosity, how did you come up with this idea? :)

Cool image idea and creation. I love it.
Russ

super original and trippy! nice post! great shot.

i think that i like the first one better. a little darker and it makes a poor fruit death look scarier

wow

Though I am not your friend, I decided to take a look at the other one; this is better than the other one. I admire your work. You have a beautiful eye for photography.
