OH MY GOD
Why?
I think it may grab some attention.
The brown ribbon could be up for grabs with this submission. But i also think it could do worse.
Dreams are never ever pretty landscape pictures so why should we not be surreal.

The faded, old photograph feel works well here. I think that a little less brightness and perhaps some scratches on the image would have enhanced the presentation. The hot spot on the bottom of the apple is a little distracting. The knees bending in the wrong direction is a nice touch, but I can't help but think that I ought to see your arms (or whatever they've become) lying about somewhere. As a surreal photograph this is fairly good. You're on your own for the interpretation of this dream though.

Would've thought your dreams involved eyes rather than apples....

Very interesting indeed!!! And very creative :-) Certainly sounds like a lot of strange dreams that I've had. It's a bit too noisy for my tastes. I think that a little bit of noise does add to the dreamlike quality of the photo, but in my opinion I would like to see a little less. VERY interesting subject. Nice to have something unusual to look at :-)

A really strange dream indeed. I like the treatment, it gives it a feeling almost like a publicity shot for a psychological horror film.

great bizaree abstract image. I wish there was better blacks tho, perhaps you were trying to to make it more dreamlike, but i still miss the full range of grey's

I can relate to this... If I had to find something wrong I would say the top is cropped a little close to the border, but this is an interesting presentation, well composed. Color treatment gets Kuddos!

Wow... Nevermind what we think... Get a shrink to figure that one out! But I like it a lot. I love this form of art using doll parts in weird sculptures. I have a taste for the macabre. I just wish it wouldn't be so gray tough. Good luck!

Would have been a great entry for surrealism. Very unsure about the brigthness and contrast, but I do like the content and its portrayal.

This is Billy Bonkers from Madtown. You are a very disturbed individual and should seek profesional help immediately if you see children with apples for heads and legs on backwards in your dreams. Ask your boss for a few days off! Great unique shot standing high in the submissions. I think the greying treatment you have applied will hurt what should have been a very high scoring shot.

Great use of creativity for this challenge. Knees bending backwards! Apple head. Cool shot.

The surreallism here is beautifully interpreted. Technically, it could use a bit more contrast and slightly better lights & darks. That's nit picking though for this splendidly imaginative image.

Yes thot would have to be one of those dreams you have after a two week bender on some ackward narcotic. Very strange. I like the grainy look you added to this photo but I think you may have used just a tad to much. As I look at this my mind keeps repeating WTF? Great job!! fits the challenge very nicely.

that's pretty strange. Its very surreal, but I think that the noise/scratches may be just a bit overodone

Very strange. I do like the noise effect thought.

wtg -- I need to see more like this. dreams are wild and crazy and a lot of the others were starting to look like they could go in any challenge. You capitalized on the topic!
