Comment by nonney:
When first viewing the image, I thought it was blood. I thought " Oh Jesus! What has this person been through!" After I read the tittle, I thought " Oh just mud." Good for your psyche ( I would not want any person to have that memory), but the image is stronger when thinking of blood, rather than mud. It is almost like the title lessens the image. It would almost be stronger as "In the Bath." I could give it a 10 then.

If the focus were on the water drop, I think this would have done better, because that is where my eye is looking.

Background is too blown out for my taste. I think it might work better with a greater DOF so the nose is a little more in focus

I think that would be one of the "favorite memories" for the mom, but I don't think a child would pay that much attention to the mess. I may be wrong. Still, the photograph is great, good sepia tones.

Before I read the title I was afraid you were remembering a massacre of some kind! If I were your mother I'd make you clean all that mess!!
