Great take on the topic (and title too)

I love it! That's really an extreme and that alternative medicine works for the most of the people :) Alex

I'm no fan of cleavers but this works for me! Somehow it doesn't over power everything else. Every element is strong yet work together to form this amazing image. ~kt

I love it! What great attention to detail. What a great model. What a great idea. Darn, this is just wonderful. This is a fantastic photo, but since we're here to whine about things, I wonder if this might not be even better if she was not supporting her right hand with her left. I do like seeing the painted fingernails, but I think she'd seem more menacing if she was holding the cleaver with just one hand - it'd make her seem more strong and determined and less like she is, perhaps, having a hard time holding the pose. I now feel guilty for even saying anything at all because this is, simply, so great! Jim H.

@FarsideMichael I hope you reconsider. It it not all about winning or losing. I think the main goal of everyone who enters is to learn, share, and have fun. I look forward to seeing your entry. theFly

Oh, that is just too clever the image is just too good! I was going to try shoot something on the weekend to enter but after seeing this I realise I have a LONG, LOOONG way to go before I can even get close to competing here. Well done.

Of course, the working title on this must have been something else... Cleavage!

Sorry Gayle, no room. There's plenty of voices in there already. Pops - I thought I'd made it so subtle nobody would notice it at all.

I think I need to live inside your head for a while and gather up some of your ideas.

Love the badge. That is such a typical ISO touch it would be wrong if it wasn't there.

Fantastic, no room for improvement; simply fantastic. Cheers, Vikas.

Yes, the cleaver is spooky, but with a typical iso touch of whimsy...there is a kiss on the blade. Best Wishes, Traveller

It is difficult to add to the compliments already posted: a most splendid and professional portrait. I am no pro at shooting people and would hardly have thought of using the kind of skew (near diagonal) angle for the main subject, but you make it work just perfectly. [ And I cringe to think what the butcher's knife could be for! ] :-) ~jnconradie

I kind of like Lee's comment best...it must be fun...lol Best Wishes, Traveller

Oh jeez, there's just so many good things happening here that I'll simply say "Brilliant!" and shut up, with a tip o' the hat to you. -Michael

My response to the thumbnail was, "OMG!" re: oveall picture quality in every respect. Then I opened it and, of course, it's yet another flawless Isopic. You're really on your A game here, baby! Pro all the way, no room for improvement. Kudos! ~ Lonnit
