Jesus loves the little children of the world…

    Thats a pretty scary little girl… it looks more like an alien to me. Either way, it is a very disturbing photograph. Brilliantly thought provoking!

    Super shot and editing mate, uncanny, did a similar thing myself here with a bit of a face thing happening but not as good as your one. Did you see it before you started the edit?

  • Laurie Puglia replied

    no i didn’t even know about your face. and i really don’t know what i’m doing with photoshop. just winging it. can you help me out with vectors and layering. i have no idea what it means. does the box software that i ordered come with a manuel. thanks for looking bud.
