Instead of breaking the rules of photography, I went with breaking the laws of Physics.

What is your opinion of this, and do you think it fits the challenge?

    Cool shot! Yeah, kinda creepy, but very eye-catching. Breaks the laws of physics or of dna?? ;)

    Maybe I'm missing something, but it's not clear to me how it is breaking the laws of physics... I understand that this was probably taken with her horizontal and then you rotated it vertical, but... I feel like it might need more than that, especially because it took me a moment of looking at it and then reading your title/blurb to figure out what you were going for. Just me, though... I guess what I'm saying is that I would want to see something that doesn't require a title to make it clear what rule is being broken.

    That said, I agree that the shot is uber-creepy and the eye makeup and warm tones work to that effect, so I think you do have a good image on your hands.
