 This is my first image entered into a challenge in a LONG time... the reason being in the box.

I guess since i'm a very new mother, I got the idea to do this image because I cannot even imagine someone leaving their newborn child behind. My parents just recently purchased an old hotel in Christiana, PA. I took a box from the hotel, grabbed my little girl, and stated shooting some images. I had a different image in my head, so I did another shoot with her in the studio with some packing peanuts, which i'll post after the challenge. In the end, I came back to this image obviously. The only thing I did to this image was convert to black and white through Aperture and exported it as a JPEG. No Photoshop because I had to reorder for my Mac! UGh... I miss it so much!

The title sugests a powerful image but this has a little too much "cute factor" in it to go with the title. The title and the image almost seem to be fighting each other.

Nice concept but image looks too soft may be a closer crop with more contrast may have done still better.

What a sad image, but I'm glad it was only posed.
