I think that's killer sweet! Great macro manipulation. At first I thought it was blood, then maybe a different red substance from a fruit? Who knows...but I like how you twisted our perspective. Nice shot :)
"There are no rules and regulations for perfect composition. If there were we would be able to put all the information into a computer and would come out with a masterpiece. We know that's impossible. You have to compose by the seat of your pants." -Arnold Newman
This is spectacular. The combination of complimentary and contrasting is great. It makes the entire pic just leap off of the page. I love it!! I could base a story off of just this pic. A fantasy, or possibly Science Fiction. Nicely done.
P.S. If you get a chance, take a look at my gallery. Any comments, criticisms, advice, etc. would be more than welcome on any specific pics. Have a great day!
