Forced into Silence

Description

No, I did not actually stick my lips together:) I glued the pieces of string and used lipstick for the blood effect.

I wanted to show women's oppression in some societies and how they cannot voice their own opinions freely and are therefore "Forced into Silence"

Edit 24.05.2011: Finally found a name that suits the photo.

Simplistic, yet very effective. You can see pretty much every tiny detail on each of those strings. The composition is done very nicely, though the focus could have been tuned just a slight but to put a little more enhancement on the lips. The third string from the right almost looks as though its clear on one side and blurry on the other. Not a very gradual change.

However, this piece is put together very well. Your use of tonality and focus is absolutely superb. Though, the watermark is a slight bit distracting.

Lovely picture, though! You definitely know how to work that camera <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>
