What a beautiful child. The red eye really takes away from the overall quality of the image though. But it's all about choices. Apparantly I chose the wrong picture to submit too. I still like this anyway. Good luck! 5 Gracious

Multitasking

Good use of mirrors, perfect title, nice depiction of a mundane ritual. Artistically it doesn't jump out at me, maybe because there isn't enough color in it. But there is nothing really wrong with it. Good job, good luck in the challenge! 6 Gracious

Good idea. Nice uncluttered composition. The string lieading out of the picture allows my mind to imagine what's on the other side. Good choice for black and white.

Shedding of Innocent Blood (God Help Them!)
by Gracious

Comment:
Now that this challenge is over, I want people to know that I wasn't representing my childhood here, but was reflecting on the children who lose their lives daily because of incidents beyond their control. Examples from recent news: Two young girls Kidnapped, raped, and murdered, children caught in the crossfire of drive-by shootings, a couple of young boys in foster care repeatedly raped and beaten. I won't go on. I'm terribly sorry if some of you found this "TOO depressing" but these children and many more never know the fun, and games, and innocence of childhood.
The lilies of the valley represent purity...and I am sorry that I couldn't find real ones to suit some of you. :-( The blood...oh yes...lol....the blood IS FAKE...I confess to using fake blood. Personally I thought it a better choice than the alternative.
Technically I know it's not a perfect image...that's why I'm here....to learn.

I can most definetely relate to reading a book. When I was a kid that's all I did. Read, read, read.

Definetly one of my favorites. Simple, uncluttered, and very nice. The shadow up in the right corner is surprising. Wish ya woulda gotten rid of it. Still very nice. Grayce aka Gracious
