Hmmmmmm...Maybe next time the parent should take a little extra time in researching the daycare center's credentials. Apparently, one facilitator got a little too close to Agent Orange back in Viet Nam, "If you kids don't straighten up in there, HEADS will roll!!!!"

Either that or this is the tree where we could expect to find "blooming idiots!"

At any rate, it is a little too much "Dr. Demento" for me! :\

I gave it a six as I love found objects and this one is an excellent example.
However, things not in its favour are the panoramic crop - why? Selective colouring is just naff and a better way to present the head would be by moving in and composing the shot with a little more thought given to the background. I dont know what was there though.
The worst thing about the whole picture is the title which is just awful. Why take some crappy overused phrase to present such an interesting subject?


Well i appreciate all comments but the reason for the title was that i thought the average person would walk by and wonder what the story was with it...Guess I could have called it "What The ****!?"

Judging from the midrange scores, looks like most were just really ambivalent about it, not really creeped out.
