Eeeeek scary clown!

The pic seems flat to me. Try adding more contrast on the image and make the blood more glossy. Since it's Ronald McDonald, shouldn't he be holding a cow's head?

Hmm.. more contrast..? It's all black and white.. I can't see where to add some more contrast..

You want the blood to shine more, or what?

Well, I was just looking for a clown and he was the best I found.. there is no further meaning of choosing him.. hehe..

But thanks for the comment

Black, white, and gray. What I am referring to in my prior post is shading.

The greys on the ball, knife, and clown make the image too flat. Make the objects more three dimensional by making some of the gray darker and some of it lighter according to how the light falls. You can also add shadows.

You want the blood to shine more, or what?

The blood shood be shinier. Fresh blood is kind of glossy. On stage, we used corn syrup with red food coloring in it. This gives a close idea of what the reflectiveness of real blood is. As the blood dries, it gets duller and browner until it looks like red clay mud.

Okay thank you very much.. I'll try that when I get home..
