The Bluebeard First-Place Winner!

There is Wart's exceptional manip which took first prize in the Bluebeard contest.

Congrats Wart! I loved this one, the bullet trails in the water are spectacular.

I will say this was a very difficult contest to judge. I thought there would be one, maybe two, that would catch my eye and be a simple vote. But with every manip posted, I found that I was liking them all.

I thumbed through them 20 times or more trying to decide. Every entry should be commended.

This was a wonderful picture. I was confused by her face. I cannot tell if it has been shot, or she is just bubbling. I really liked the tracers and the depth on the breast hits.

I wanted something new and different making all those air bubbles as bullet trails was something new and making blood in the water was even more challenging.

She was bubbling on original picture so I thought I would add some blood come out from her mouth with the rest of air. But it could be confusing, you are right John.

I like more my last pic though, Knife, shadow of that knife , throat slit, blood in the water, on her hand and face, those are details I like.

Thanks a lot everyone

Nice work was done by all and my most difficult choice was picking the 2nd and 3rd place winners
