I want to answer a few comments, but first, thanks to everyone, and I took nothing personally except for the good comments:
My daughter was not injured or choked during the making of this, nor was it "posed". This scarf is one my her favorite playthings. I first tried taking photo of her sitting in a chair with this, but it did not really work.
I put her on our bed, on a dark green blanket. And I asked for her help (sounds more like hop in her language). I laid her on the bed, and covered her in it, and just let her play. I had to do this several times, shooting hand held at 1/50th, and I got about 3 good shots out of 25 or so. Many were blurred because of her movement.
The other two good ones actually look a lot like chiffon dream. My wife and I thought this would have more universal appeal. BTW: it makes a nice 8x10.
I was really worried about this being trashed for being a baby picture, but it wasn't. The creepy and freaky comments did not bother me, because it does look a little ghostly.
One person asked "why would you do this?" For a nice picture.
