Nice shot... fits theme well (I think). Tells a story well

Well done, and the exposure is spot on.

Must not have been easy for you to take this shot, author.

Sad and touching photo. Very good and expressive piece!

Yes!! This is shock art here! Great job!

Shock art is one term, GROSS is another That looks like it was rediculously painful, burst your toe like a baloon...

Wtf....

Don't you think you're going too far for a contest entry? I mean smashing your toes for a good pic, is a bit extreme

That's disturbing :S

Oh my, glad that's not my toe, hope it's all better now.

Ouchh!

I am going to assume you staged this and I must say, it's an impressive effect. GL

But if you didn't? I applaud you and hope the pain pills are working

Didn't we just see this one in a previous contest, or one very similar?

It was removed after less than a day, never finished a contest...

IT'S REAL! I KNOW IT IS!... Just like SANTA!! tee hehehehe... AWESOME SHOT!!! BEST EXECUTION I'VE SEEN!

I went out and found some old rusty nails today cause I wonna try it too... just not sure which hand I wonna stab yet...

Very impressing

It can't be real MnM, if a nail were driven into a hand from the back like this then the blood pattern would not be going up the nail like it is! LOL or perhaps I might be over analyzing this?

In that case, good to see it back. GL

Oh you Bastard Locks.....LOL

Horrible and fascinating....... ouch!

Oh my God ! Even if this was staged I can still feel the pain :S Horribly fascinating shot. And I knew it was you.

Well the blood could be up the nail if you were to have tried to pull it out a bit

ouch.. nice work ..GL

I think locks has been watching too much "Dexter"...but GREAT SHOT author. Very nice detail and intriguing subject matter.

And I thought that the guy who destroyed his toes with some marble was extreme

Congrats James!

Aww it's Kermit. Nice shot.

Gubbles you took my comment .... nice one author
