I like it alot, however, it may look better if the knife was more in focus and shiny. Also, if you moved the focus up a little, not on the wrinkle in the dress and the arm, but starting in the middle of the dress and moving up to the top edge of the knife.

I like your experiment. One's love for another can be the whole world..........and the end of that world should betrayal turn love into pain.....you fall apart and don't see anything the same again......only a blur
of what you once had.....interesting how it can drive someone to the lengths of the knife being the solution.....this is well illustrated in this picture........well done!

Ok well I saw this image last in the series... though my thoughts of the meaning stands (though you could add that perhaps he cheated on her and he's trying to get her to forgive him... but she won't/can't... though not sure the extra interpretation is right or needed)

blennus In reply to rakastajatar [2006-01-18 03:32:49 +0000 UTC]

well it makes sense... as an artist putting meaning into your work... it's nice to find that people can read that meaning from the piece without input from yourself... if you know what I mean

No, I'll never give the hunt up,
And I won't muck it up.
Somehow this is it, I knew.
Maybe fate wants you dead, too
We've come together in the very same room,
And I'm coming for you!

Do you think I'd ever let you
Get away with it, huh?
He swooned in warm maroon.
There's gas in your barrel, and I'm flooded with Doom.
You've made a wake of our honeymoon,
And I'm coming for you!"

"All of the headLines said 'Passion Crime"
'Newly weds Groom Shot Dead
'Mystery Man.' God help the bride
She's a widow, all in red,
With his red still wet. She said--"

I'll put him on the wedding list!
I'll put him on the wedding list!
I'll get him and I will not miss.

I do wish I could see more of his expression, as it kind of begs to be seen...you have the knife...which needs to be seen, but so does the either fear or happiness on his face

Sweet...tell me why you wanted it MORE on you and less on him...

rakastajatar In reply to martisunshine [2006-01-17 05:11:25 +0000 UTC]

because it's more about her -- how she felt the lies .. and all she could see anymore was just a blur of him in her memory

martisunshine In reply to rakastajatar [2006-01-17 05:14:44 +0000 UTC]

THAT is what your description should say 'all she can see anymore is a blur of him in her memory' I know you're a writer too THAT rocks it.

Bloody standoff.
Blood red dress.
Blood red roses.
Hidden knife on bare skin.
Hidden motives all around.
Deception?
Deception discovered?
Who is playing false with whom?
Who has been playing false with whom?
Who will pay?
Whose blood is it?

Chilling.

Rather different from your usual black and white street photography, but powerfully done. It is a fine photographic essay. Interesting to see the ones that didn't make it. The picked the best ones.
