Very interesting shot. The shadow against the blade that is hiding the edge is very interesting. Goodl work.

OUCH!!!!!!! The silhouette the reflections make it hard to tell if this is 1 foot or severalfeet rearranged by the edge.

Brilliantly composed John to make it look like the sword is buried in the foot when actually it is the shadow. Superb composition.

Great shot. Agreeing with everyone else, the silhouette and reflection make for a compelling subject. It is impossible to not to do a double take.

Hi Peter, thanks.
I took the picture against the setting sun with the sword’s handle clamped to an elevated wooden deck. The model was holding on to the railing and carefully stepping on the sharp edge while trying no to slice her foot in half!
Here’s a test picture taken from a higher angle while setting up the shot…

Hello again Beverly, I waited all day for the sun to be in the right position.
Thank you…
