I know I'm going to get creamed for this. But really, it's very much representative of my art. Where else but FS? Here goes...

"I don't care if it's a boy or a girl, as long as the baby is healthy and has ten fingers and ten toes."

Lovely strangeness!

HAha! Love the feeling here - Look at the 1's this one got! What tha?! Certainly represents stuff that I find appealing - What I could consider metaphysical commentary.

Seriously disturbing; extraordinarily well done. This creeps me out no end, but I am drawn back to it again and again.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Wonderfully made. I know the back story to this image which makes it all the more poignant, but even when putting that to one side, this was always likely to hit my sweet spot. The combination of elements in this image - the doll head, the inserted hands and the vertical hair tuft all make for a most intriguing image and the use of a Lensbaby complements the composition perfectly.

Critical stuff: Not much, but a few personal taste things - I do think a tad more space at the bottom may have worked a little better - the lack of edge burning on that side (paradoxically) emphasises the asymmetry. I also think the image could have stood slightly more contrast.

Overall: A wonderfully creative piece.

Oh that's so bizarre. It actually made me shudder. It has made me look, and ponder, for quite awhile, so it obviously makes a connection.
