Would have been my challenge 33

Lucky Hack

As much as I was tempted, my conscience wouldn't let me enter it for the 33rd challenge; I shot this a couple months back. I have a title for it, but I'm interested in knowing what other people think..?

ps. don't worry, this photo is heavily PS'd, the original is of a well adjusted wide eyed, happy child

Very interesting. Makes me come up with lots of emotions, from:

Sad tortured child..........to..............scary (like the movie, Bad Seed (original one)). In that sense it's an excellent photo .

Don't think I'd give it to Mom to hang on the wall though

I know this type of unsettling photography isn't very popular,(I see quite a few passed on comment) so I really, really appreciate everyones input. I tend to take and make alot of unsettling shots (Diane Arbus is one of my heros) along with the flowers and puppies and children. Imagery has so much power, I feel like it would be a waste to only take pictures of the pretty things.

Thanks again!:D
