Hard Life

My eye is drawn to the trigger and slowly goes to the blood stain. I think the lack of reference objects to lend a sense of scale is a problem. I can't tell if the trap is a small mouse trap or a big rat trap (despite the label). Unless one is familiar with grapefruit tree blossoms there is no scale.

I really like the cement texture.

The distortion does not bother as my eyes are so bad that my corrective lenses always through in some extra distortion anyway. I can tilt or nod my head and edges curve one way and then the other so I can't really tell what straight is anyway!
