Wow, great story and neat take on the challenge. I probably would not have gotten it, but I didn't vote on it. If I had I probably would have given a 5 or 6 because it is very eye catching, but now that I know what it is I would give it an 8. Really cool.

My god - this is amazing. You almost wonder if she's still in the womb, but her look is so alert that you know she's not. Excellent!

I've never seen a baby photograph in quite this manner. Not sure I like the harsh treatment in post.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: A most unusual and interesting baby portrait. The deep shadows and colour temperate evoke a very warm cosseted feeling and the way the light (and your processing?) catches the fine body hair / down.

Critical stuff: I do think I'm a bit conventional here and feel that better focus on the face / eye would have improved the image (despite the overall soft feel).

Overall: Effective and unusual.

The lighting makes such a huge impact on how this image presents the child. It's a little disturbing but I like what you did.

Is that an operating room? Hope you had enough spare units of blood.
