i love this, the atmosphere is so well set, especially with the parts of the house rotting in view.
my only critique though, is that theres too much editing in the girl. she looks so..fake, especially because the dress kind of whitens out into itself. unless that was what you were going for?

This is creepy, but in a can't look away type of way.
Kind of makes me think of the boxcar children, if they made a horror out of it lol

Perhaps it was your intent, but the loss of detail in the dress seems to be a bit distracting for my eye. Non-the-less congrats on the DD! C;

There's a very hesitatnt feeling to this pic...like a calm before the storm or a quick, quiet moment before something horrible will happen. You've captured that sinking feeling in your stomach very well. Nicely done!

wow, you captured a really good horror movie type of feel in this picture without using any gore or monster-like things whatsoever. Great job

This is something that I'd expect from a Stephen King movie. Which means it's awesome. I love how the colors are all muted, except for your niece. Congratulations.

Which area of the south? Deep south, as in Mississippi, or southern mountains, as in West Virginia? Either place has some of the most beautiful areas and people anyone would ever want to meet, see or know. I know...I'm from down there.

This girl... When seeing the photography, I have remembered the picture of Andrew Wyeth; the world of Cristina. You have thought about interpreting that picture with this girl and a bottom done with a program?

Wonderful image! I love the rustic, textured feel of the house contrasted with the little girls bright white dress. She is the perfect model for this shot because she has a haunted look about her that makes the viewer want to know more about the story behind the scene you have created. Very compelling...

a nice piece with the reds and the wood. I'm not sure of the overexposure of the dress combined with the lack of detail in her face though.
