Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent. Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread. Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Probably best not to view this at work.
Unless you work at a sex shop. 
Ingredients: $2 mousetrap, $2.50 motorised Wind-Up Supra Jolly Pecker with the motor removed, tartare sauce, lubricant, fake blood (one of the various types I've made). It's a wee bit different to the sort of image I'd normally shoot or post, but I wanted to try something a bit extreme... a bit Mapplethorpish... so it's almost a tribute... except it probably isn't unless it is... what do people think?

Hmm, where to start? First of all, I don't think the image warrants all those warnings of yours...
I'm still trying to decipher it, esp the various bits of debris and fragments lying around. The lighting is very suggestive, but I haven't found out yet of what. My only critique point so far would be that all the bodily fluids look very fake. Cheers Steffen. lust for comfort suffocates the soul
I'm glad it's fake!!
I do like the lighting. Mark Greenmantle

Leigh,
I like it. Very unusual and creative. I'd agree though that fluids look very fake, e.g. blood doesn't look saturated enough. My first impression was that it was an egg masacre
Cheers Alex
Surely you could have used the real stuff for this - dedication to your art and all that...
It's a good shot and slightly confronting, but it almost like a spoof (if you will excuse the pun) on a confronting shot, I guess the fakeness of everything adds a lighter element to it. hmm I am not sure i am getting this across D3 | 18-200VR | 50:1.4 | 28:2.8 | 35-70 2.8 | 12-24 f4

There seems to be a plague of those little varmints around lately, Very creative leigh.
There is a another I now know that is as sick as me in our futile minds. Well done. Mic
Leigh, that's one of those images that makes me want to cross my legs.
'Interesting' is an view i will give you. I look forward to your next idea Steve.

That's actually the second time someone has told me that over this image.
I'm just in a experimental mood when it comes to photography, I think. I think I'm trying out some rather radical ideas from my point of view to see if I can enjoy the act of the setup and then the act of taking the picture. Producer & Editor @ GadgetGuy.com.au

You're both just beginners when ot comes to sick. Who do you think Leigh has as his role model and mentor ?  g.
