nothing!!?

Mate I can see how much work has gone into this and you did a grand job.
The movement representation works well and there is no hand visible. Image is nice regarding the contrast and conversion. The flash of silver running along where the blade begins on the lower knife image is striking.
Good concept.
On this monitor (set a little bright) the bottom left of the shot has some brush stroke marks in the black.

Excellent work, good stock image to have in your arsenal

must be a good monitor, or mine is super bad

Very creative Jam, love the simplicity of the shot and even more so the movement that you've captured. Must not have a great monitor as i can't see the brush stoke marks either. Can see where the pins would be in the handles, wonder if that's what you mean/are seeing Tco?

Jaimie I hope you don't mind me posting this. I know you have edit marked as ask me first but I am not trying to enhance or improve the image, merely showing you what I see and to let you guys know I am not going insane!!!

I have whacked up the levels so you can see the area I mean.

Its a really good pic mate. I really enjoy your creations.

oooh yav'showed me up! thats due to the angle change, crop and turn and filled! what a shocker! i did pic the black from the image, maybe cloned insted of fill next time!!!

Thanks for that Tco, i was staring at my screen for ages trying to see it and couldn't, really appreciate you showing that. Even now you've shown that, looking at the original i still finding it difficult to see, maybe i need to do something with the screen lol

Hey mate, the intention was not to show you up just to point it out 'twas all. I set my monitor to show shadow detail since I was caught out when I Hhad a baby print done and it came back with clone marks in the black. I never saw it on the screen but when I re-cal'd it with the gretag device than it showed up quite a bit.

well, after seeing this, i think i need to sort out my settings! i am also getting a new monitor (so i have 2) any suggestions? one thats also a tv would be good too.
