I am terrified of zombies. TERRIFIED.
One day I had a dream that my precious little daughter turned into a zombie and came after me...don't ask me where it came from, I just had it. This is my recreation of my nightmare. EEK!

Really thought this was a clive_patric_nolan image, which, in any case, is a huge compliment.

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: A well made image - no doubt about that; it will however make some people uncomfortable. Personally, I think that's a good thing! The stand-out eyes, slight grain and the lighting/vignette work very well together.

Critical stuff: The earrings - they rob the image of some of its power.

Overall: Very pleased to have seen this. I like unusual portraits and this is right up there.

OK that's just disturbing. The effect you were looking for? The imagery and post is excellent. Give Stephen King a call. He could use this as his next cover. A heart pumpin' 8.

This is definitely an eerie image.

I don't find it scary. I love a kid with a dirty face. I love how her earrings mimic her reflections in her eyes. This is kinda cool.

normally i would say the eyes are overprocessed for my tastes but taking the title into account i think it works well

Disturbing, I don'nt think children should be portrayed like this, they are too special and innocent......don't mean to offend.
