Cute idea, not a fan of the eye makeup though. It kind of takes away from the whole image.

HARSH LANGUAGE IS AN INEVITABILITY THAT EVERYONE SHOULD LEARN TO DEAL WITH, AND IS SIMULTANEOUSLY AN EXPRESSIVE FORM OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. WHERE WOULD HEMMINGWAY BE IF HE WEREN'T AN OFFENSIVE SUNNUVABICTH? STICKS AND STONES...

Hemingway was a master of language, he could do in 6 words what many writers could not express in entire volumes. The use of offensive or harsh language in his writing is a reflection of the times and the people that he was writing about, it was not an effort to shock or offend. There are times and places for harsh language, it is not an inevitability that must be accepted. Society has always set up guidelines with respect to behaviors and practices.

My photo comments: (I apologize for the above, but felt the need to respond). Beautiful shot. I personally do like the DOF, I think it keeps it from appearing like a 'pin wheel'. I think the 'Is this a Collection?' argument is pointless. Most challenges are open to a level of personal flexibility on the part of the photographer and it is up to the voters to make their own interpretation of the challenge description. There have been many challenges lately where quality photos were entered, but came in very low due to not meeting the challenge- as interpreted by a majority of voters. The first decision on meeting the 'spirit of the challenge' is made by the entering photographer, the final decision is made by the voters and in this case the voters have spoken. Once again, very well done.

Edited for a typo...

Poor little waif. The filter really adds to the overall deep undertones of this visual statement.
