Uncounted billions of nails have been hammered since they were invented in pre-Biblical times. It's remarkable that human fingers have still not evolved to endure their use.

nice idea.

Good use of dof here too Ken, too narrow would have taken away from the image. Nice and sharp detail too.

Oh, and I hope that is tomato sauce

I tried tabasco, catsup, and anything else I could find in the kitchen that was red. Everything looked fake. In the end, it was ye old pin-stick that worked the best.

Oh man, pain for your art, Ken, I like it! Nice piecing of this puzzle together in a tight compo. The blood really tells the end of the story.

Gee, I hadn't thought of "pain for your art"! I just hope we don't have a WA with a theme of "Earshot"...I might be tempted to join the Vincent Van Gogh society.

As a side note, I actually shot an alternate image (below) for this assignment. At the last minute, I opted for the nail, thinking that this other shot might be a bit cheeky. But it was fun, too.

That's a fine one as well, Ken, nice work. Some suggestions would be some more blur of the back trap and try also to bring out the transp image a little more.
