So funny this is doing so well. It was actually from the unintended left side of a shot of someone else on the ground. I would show the full shot, but have to wait until after the free study ends as it might reveal my photo there (not the same shot used, but a distinct characteristic)

With about 12 hours to go, at 6.2917 and 96 votes. 2 Faves and 14 comments, including a nice honor from posthumous.

Essentially I just looked for odd and interesting images in my shots from this day and then worked them as best I could. This boy was with his mother and grandmother I think... the girl in the back is of no connection whatsoever, but the look on her face was priceless and seemed to fit the scene, so I brought her out a bit more.

Not a lot of editing on this really... crop of the original photo, multiply layers and layer masks to highlight the boy and the girl...

I knew this would do well. I loved the spooky feel of this, and the little girl in the background is the icing on the cake. Congrats on the Posthumous honors and nice score!

This says something to me... I'm not sure what... LOL! But... it makes me stop and look for longer than I'd planned.

He has the saddest most cutest face. Makes me think of a post war pic.

Haunting, unsettling -- though I can't say why.

Strong image. Reminds me a little of Don McCullin and Sally Mann.

Those eyes are haunting. The hope there is fragile and so close to being lost forever.

Luminous yet eerie eyes from this little boy, but for the girl in the background...10

It's the girl growing out of his arm that adds a wonderful weirdness factor to this.
