 I wanted a eery feel with this. I am hoping this comes across as an creepy baby that wants to haunt you. I set up a diffuser behind the baby and fired my flash at +3ev to give it a very bright backlit feel. The bars are from an old crib that I set up and leaned the baby against it. I also fired a strobe into a silver umbrella to the front left and a diffused strobe from the right.

Editing was mostly levels to get it very bright. also did a color correction, crop, resize, usm and sfw. Let's see how this turns out I know it probably won't get a real high score but I hope a few people get what I was going for.

Heh - before I read your comments, my first thought was "eerie!" so you definitely achieved your goal. Very effective!

I really liked this and gave it a high score, very creepy and atmospheric, though not to everyone's taste!

The first feeling I get from this is creepy! The dark eyes and the stark contrast with the lighted areas. I'd have to say, "no, maybe another time"

Moody and dark, almost Stephen King'ish. Wierd but apt in a few quarters.
