Description
Would you dare to bite the apple?
"fall into my arms my love
and dream sweet sinful dreams
where noone is ever who they seem
let me be your darkened angel
surrender your love to me
embrace the night for all eternity
fall into my arms my love
and dream sweet sinful dreams
where noone is ever who they seem
and while my crimson lips
are still moistened from the kiss
share with me such unworldly bliss"
( "Vampyre kiss" )
Dedicated to all who´d dare...
"The beauty in black
She's the serpent of lust
Coiling down the tree in your eden
To bring you the fruits
Of forbidden pleasures
And forbidden knowledge
Behind your sleeping mind
The beauty in black
Cast upon the nightheavens
Riding your desires
To be cast beneath the seas
Behind your sleeping mind"
( "Beauty in black" Therion )

I love the concept behind this composition. It captures all the elements of danger, erotica, and The Fall of Adam & Eve. The pose of the hand and the knife is good. The hand is curled in a tight fist and the knife is poised in a defensive position. However it is hovering right over the apple and the first thought is that the aggressive action is meant for the apple and not the hand that will reach for it. I believe you wanted to give the impression that the knife will be their to punish those whom dare to take a bite from the apple. If that is so, I think it would improve the image to have the knife poised to strike about a foot away from the apple. The knife and hand would be closer to the viewer - making it clear that the danger is very near. The other hand cups the apple as if in offering. That is great. And given it's proximity to the female privates it is erotic in nature but it also accomplishes the task of innvoking the imagery of the fall of Adam and Eve. I think that greyscaling/black & white imagery with only the apple in color was and is the best way to go. The reason is the attention is focused immediately on the apple. The viewer then begins to notice the details surrounding that apple. One nit is that the apple appears as an unnatural red - did you color it in? If you used a red apple you could use the selection tool to select only the apple, feather it by a few pixels, then copy it to a temp file. Then you would go back to the original image, make it B&W, and finally paste the color apple file in another layer on top of the image. Finally I want to mention that this version works better than the other versions with bites taken out of the apple and that is because there is the tension of a viewer being offered the nice red apple but knowing the knife is there to punish those whom would dare to take a bite.

Gute Kombination von Farbe und SW. Auserdem gefallen mir die zwei "Sterne" and der Klinge die übrigens auch recht interesant geformt ist. Ist das ein normales Küchenmesser ?
