Babies & Children looking Evil/Scary

Challenge #6 in the The Art of Contradiction series. Hosted by sagebrushfire.

Challenge has finished

Can't get more contradictory than this (for most people anyway). Let's see some sweet, innocent children look ghoulish, scary or just plain evil! I could save this one for Halloween but if I still have the privilege of doing challenges by then, I have much more sinister ideas in mind!

Challenge comments

Hi all,

This might be too late to comment or solicit feedback from the community. My entry has been ranked #13. No issues here. But I am a bit disappointed with those 3 votes that have rated my photo as 0.5. And I want to understand the reason those 3 guys judged it so low. Is it that (a) the entry was way off from the challenge requirement/rules or (b) it was a badly composed photo? This entry is one of my best photo till date and hence I am confused as to what went wrong. Any comment/feedback will be greatly welcome.
