Artist's Comments

No photo-manipulation. Explanation as follows:

Cold water, red and a little orange food coloring, ice, long shutter, high aperature, tripod, tiny waterproff flashlight in the back of the tub, little bit of light peeking in from the room behind, and that's it.

The "blood" and water colors were expected. The texture on the tile and porcelain was a result of the digital noise (b/c of dark), shutter and aperature. I can't explain the steel nozzle and handles (my only guess is that due to the lack of light, my camera tried to compensate for it by coloring in the shapes it captured). Those came out with a pure black and white, almost cartoonish look.

The extent of the changes on that were resizing it from 2274.

Enjoy.

(UPDATE: Since everybody keeps asking, the food coloring did not stain anything, it just washed right down.)

thats cool how like the water is the only thing colored. did the coloring leave a nasty ring around the tub? nice pic

*~*mandy*~*
:iconkillfrenzy:
the icecubes look like giant maggots to me, its bizzare how the blood seems to be the only colour and the rest is b+w ever without photo manip. I think i like this picture so much because its as if you are taking a normally safe, warm space and turning it upside down...creating an atmosphere of cold, death, danger.

It's easy to explain simple things so they seem to be complex...to explain complex things so they seem easy - that's the real challenge!

wow, very vibrant. I'm quite impressed with the effort and thought put into this piece, and must say it has certainly paid off. To achieve this with no digital manipulation is something to be very proud of.

For your efforts: +fav
:icontubz:
Wow lush shot.. and as ~shpank said it really looks like youve put alot of effort into this, and the results are darn good. It is very chilling and cold, and the "blood" in the bath just adds the creepyness to it. Without doing any photo manip. simply rocks... extremly well done!
