#54... too ambiguous?

I already posted this, and doubt I'll have time to do a reshoot... but... the title might have room for work to help along the idea.

Current title:

Eye Theif

Anyway the cliche':


For a hint
Robbing you...

    I love this photo. I must be stupid, though, because I can't figure out what the cliche is!

    "Robbing you blind", I think.

    And that was what I was afraid of. Do you think another title might help it along?

    Ideas?

    What I am struggling with is connecting the photo with the cliche. Did she steal Raggedy Ann's eyes for the buttons? Maybe have one of the buttons still on the doll to make the connection stronger.

    Visually, I find it appealing. clap.gif

    Someone else suggested "It is all fun and games until someone looses an eye"... which would work pretty well too.


    Opinions?

    Great image. Good lighting and good subject placement.

    As far as the cliche goes, I sort of get it.. "it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye." Raggedy Anne lost both eyes in this case though =)

    "Turn a Blind Eye"? Nice image. Couldn't see the cliche.

    Love the image but I have to say, I didn't get it either. Maybe one eye left on the doll would help draw attention to the fact that it's missing the eye? Just a thought.

    Or perhaps the girl in the process of removing the 2nd eye?
    I did get the cliche but it took some working out from the image as is.
