Creative image, well thought out in staging and in usage of dof. Those blood drops are the icing on this well baked cake!

Congrats Mark, creepy

ICK....horrible, just awful. Congratulations on first !

Great shot... sacrificing for art!

Reminds me of my first wife. Wonderful patience author and great shot.

well done

So thats what the little SOBs look like up close. Awesome picture! Nothing like a little dedication...

Thanks. It was kind of difficult. Holding the camera still with one hand, while holding my arm out and somewhat twisted to get the angle. After a few (several) attempts I finally got him!

my heart goes for you, hehe, but i'd say no pain no gain fabulous shot, good luck

Suicide?

i have a lot of purple teddy bears n he was the only clown, , I know this is a very real subject but was just looking to do something different. Dont mean to offend anyone with this shot. I know thats more then what u asked but i did debate should I put it on or not.

I just thought poor teddy...
I asked if it was suicide because the teddy is holding the scissors...

Poor teddy

definitely a worthy sacrifice. GL!

yes it does, but I think you might have been able to shoot it in a more artistic way, rather than just full on.......imo
