Sinister 1

Cheltenham, Glos

Feeling slightly manic and dangerous today...only kidding! Tuesday 12th's entry to the May Challenge; click here for others going wide this month

I've been wanting to do this shot for a while, but keep forgetting to!! Inspired by the very beautiful Harold Budd track "Flowered Knife Shadows" (also know as "Memory Gongs" by The Cocteau Twins):

Great lighting and atmosphere. Excellent choice in music. "V"

Blimey Doug!, that is sinister but also very appealing. And also may I compliment you on your choice of music - I love the Cocteau Twins (as you know), but only have this particular album on vinyl with no means to play it, so its great to hear it here!

The soft focus on the blade increases the sinister feel to this image.
