Not just a wild and provocative photo, a great babysitting idea!

Yes, I like these pictures of kids in boxes. This one is good. Sharp focus and good composition. I like the color adjustment too. I'm a little disturbed by the bright opening at the bottom. It seems to be just floating out there almost like a hotdog. Maybe it would have been better without this spot. Maybe a little more cropping at the bottom would have helped, but overall I like this one.

very cool image

Love the POV. This shot is sooo cool!

I really like the perspective here, but I wished the box ink cartridge box and warppers were not in the photo.

I assume this is looking straight down into the box but I like the appearance that she's deying gravity. I like the colors and tones of the shot.

I like the angle and idea. I like her and the light in the box. All her treasures are a bit distracting. I wonder how the same would look if she just had a teddy bear or some other stuffed animal. Just one objectt so as not to distract the viewer.

Do you know I was in that same hotel room last week . . lol

I really really like the portrait aspect of this shot, and would probably like it better if there was nothing else inside the box apart from this delightful looking child in a wonderful pose. The title does well to explain whats going on, but the stuff on the bottom of the box looks a little cluttered to me (even if it was real life :- )).

I would really like to see this shot done again, exactly the same, but with little or nothing else in the box, maybe just a favourite blanket. So you have the four converging lines drawing you into the picture, a nothing to draw your eye away or distract you from focusing in on the upturned face.

Really nice.

And a nifty anti-gravity suit, too!

HA. I love this! It reminds me of when I was a kid and I would make tents out of random household objects and I would sit in there for hours. This is so cute.

She seems very content. Fun image. Wish she had a big smile on her face.

Kind of disturbing

Almost looks like a kidnapping in process!!! Sharp telling image though.

How cute. I like the pov. I think all kids love hiding in boxes.

A box, a favorite toy of every child. I like the look on the child's face, it says, "do you mind?" to me, as though you are invading the child's space. I am unable to vote, just stopping through leaving comments, best of luck to you.

a bit odd, but probably that's how kids are. very well exposed and cropped. the border takes away from the "documentary" look.

Very different, but I just can't find it appealing. I think it is because the child's position and angle of the shot are awkward.

That's original.
