Pretty dramatic photo considering the challenge. Not loving the ground (carpet?). Bonus points for thinking out of the box.

Comment by Teafran:
This reviewer's initial impression was extremely negative, but after returning to the image and figuring out exactly what the image contained, this is a high score. A little too subtle in the abstract sense, this could have been mistaken for a different object in particular with the smoke. On further review though, the image matches the title and is very clever - something to consider when reviewing is not to jump to comclusions as this reviwer did. That may be a problem for this image from a general appeal standpoint, but technically and artistically, this is an outstanding effort on the part of the author and should be viewed as a clever, creative, properly lighted and focused with amazing impact. If there were justice in the one to ten voting system, this would be a perfect ten and if a Hall of Fame existed on DPC, a sure entry into the pantheon of imaginative and illusionary photography. A 10++ from this reviewer - well done.

Powerful, morbid and creepy all at once... but not sure that it sits well with the concept of childhood and all that crayons is associated with.

Comment by Teafran:
The unfortunate haze and odd lighting don't evoke any special feelings for this image as representative of the islands of the Lesser Antilles.
