I like seeing what another will interperate from an existing work.  I liked the Hellraiser series so this has some extra meaning for me.  Good Job.

From timk@jtse.com:
The blood from the wood could be more obvious.

Shouldn't the glowing blue cube be illuminating the table around it?

Nice depth of field.

As someone whose never seen Hellraiser, this image gives a good sense of
foreboding from what is essentially abstract.

From schimmler@ica.uni-stuttgart.de:
Apart from the blood the whole scene looks terribly realistic. 
Nice media effects!

=====
From ameede@madmac.com:
Your attention to the creation of the cube shows expertise, and the addition of the oozing blood adds to the danger exemplfied in the work as a whole.  But I am not to crazy about using focal blur because it happens naturally when viewing anything.  Finally, I thought the HellRaiser movies were pretty decent myself but your image doesn't reflect anything that the movies haven't done already.

This image does have impact but I am not sure how much derives from the movie 
source.

=====
From soulmates@gci.net:
The droplets of blood at the eand of the hooks in the 
wood are almost identical. Add more variety to them. The 
media glow is too obviously a sphere surrounding the 
box. Otherwise, this is a great image.

The box. You opened it. We came.

From rbenjam2@tampabay.rr.com:
Some more work on the wood texture of the table would have really added to this image.  The lighting is good.  The idea is interesting.  The box and nails are very realistic, but the wood doesn't show the same attention to detail.

From ericf@foothill.net:
Although I liked the artistic and technical components of this image, the concepts overall didn't affect me a great deal.  Perhaps not having seen the movie was a factor.

=====
From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Quite a bit of photorealism in this image.  Good height field and camera work.
A little weak on concept, though.  If you haven't seen "Hellraiser", the image wouldn't be especially noteworthy.

Where is the horror in this?

=====
From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk:
Good work.  The focal blur doesn't do anything for me in this image, but the
black media round the chains is a really nice touch.  The table needs a normal. You get the benefit of the doubt as I havn't seen the film.
