This image may require some explanation. While "hiking" (actually a nature walk), I came across this old doll laying in the woods. Creepy? Yes! However, there is an abandoned house not far from where the doll was found. Still Creepy? Yes! Anyway, the "pure" photo was too realistic and disturbing to me (b/c I'm such a deep artist! ha). By using several filters and colors I wanted to retain some of the mood of the scene yet create a more artistic feel with the lines, swirls and colors chosen.
Without the explanation would you have recognized what it is that you are looking at? Pretend it wasn't my photo b/c you all know me (I'm not going to use a live model). I know my photography lately isn't what pleases everyone but I've been purposely pushing the limits a bit to create conversation.

I didn't even see the doll at first. Well colored and distorted! It is a beautiful image. Without a title, I can imagine someone buying it and hanging it in their livingroom and then months later suddenly seeing the doll and freaking out! I'd love to see the original as well.
I LOVE the colorful swirls! I couldn't see the doll, either, until I enlarged the photo...another "funky" image!
This is a great abstract piece...I could see this hanging at the Museum of Modern Art! :-)
you are an artist and this is the work of an artist.
wonderful image.
i love what you have been doing lately.
I go along with the others, I didn't see the doll for a few seconds. Very avant guarde. Probably could accompany a spooky short story very well.
Your experimentation is great. Wish I could be that daring...
I like this experiment as well, very creepy story behind it and a great opportunity for filters. I would like to see the original next to the altered to gage the true creepiness factor.
