    Ambiguous and creepy, and well composed; trifecta, Jenn. :-)

    What's not to understand? It's one of of the two subjects in the photo, and that's where the photographer wanted it.

    Did you mean why did I place the subjects so far to the right? One aspect is that I liked the leading line of the painting coming in from the left. The other is I just thought it made the whole thing creepier. ne_nau.gif

    In and of itself, I don't find that there is enough context for me to quite understand what it is that I'm looking at.

    Is it posed or is it candid? Everything I "see" is telling me that it must be posed. However, my head figures that it must be a candid that has been cropped to remove the context that explains the oddity of what is left.

    I find it interesting to be sure.

    I think it is a fair question, something to learn from.

    I was referring to the focus point you chose on the bear and not the person. I think I understand why you chose the toy.Excellent choice and image.

    Ohhhhh I like this one Jenn. Delightfully creepy.

    ... I'm still peeling potatoes.
