[Theme] Death & Decay (warning, contains graphic images!!!)

[Jan Anne]

Jan, interesting image.  Though I feel like the selective color is seperated too abruptly from the b/w and detracts from the image.

Thanks Tristin and well spotted, I was going for the Sin City B&W with burnt reds look including the separation from the background so the blood looks fake and painted on.

Seeing a butcher @work I often tend to feel that overgrowing meat consumption could be reduced if everyone would attend live how it's made.

Bjørn, love the colors and geometry.

Jan, I dig the mono tone and comp.  The fish just visible to the right adds a lot.

Thomas, I agree but meat consumption  will inevitably plummet due to bio-technology rendering raising animals for meat far less profitable than printing/growing meat without the animals.  Raised meat will become a luxury.  Morals have some power but economics are the law of human survival.

Fons, did you have a face mask or clothes-pin, when you shot this one?

Death From Above


Nikkor 105mm f/1.8 Ai-s + 5T @ f/2

Interesting side note, a recent University study debunked the long held idea that Constrictors kill by suffocating their prey.  The scientists felt Constrictors killed prey too quickly for it to be due to suffocation, so they undertook a detailed study that revealed obstructive shock is the true cause of death.  Simplified, the Constrictor stops the prey's circulatory system.  Quite efficient!

Jan, I like the choice of b/w for that image.  Draws attention to the geometry of the crab's shell nicely.
