this was SUCH a FUN challenge... i call it the "ancestor abuse" challenge.

oh, and here are a few more of my "relatives" (they actually are, but i have no clue who they are) ;-)

Johnny Babyface (he'd rob you blind at the poker table)

Congratulations on TT. I love the combination of vintage and manipulation (I was wondering about Neat's point though). I LOVE your 'family album', what a cool collection of characters.

I think the inclusion of the broad band of ornate frame at the bottom is very clever - seems more like an extension of her dress than a frame and draws her face down even more. Congratulations on the top ten, Mark.

So are you saying this is a photo of a photo, is that legal?

Still well done!

My first pick of the realistic ones, this is so charming...& so wierdly unsettling.

Charming and I love the title. The sepia tones are just right for this - looks like an old tin type. Voted earlier.

she may be sourpuss and gloomy but you should be content with what you achieved here.

She looks pretty funny with her face deformed. I like it a lot. Nice tones and nice blue eyes.
